We begin with a boy who is only 13 years of age but is wise beyond his years, like no other before him. He is able to hold a conversation with just about any one despite his mental quarks or disabilities. He fits in everywhere and also nowhere. A boy like this with some friends but none very close must feel very lonely. Lonely he is and a deep thinker no less. He longs for a friendship as close as siblings, for he is an only child. He feels as though he…

The first, in 2016, I conducted workshops in two Senior Centers, one in Washington Heights, and the other in Harlem. These were called "Stretch & Sketch" and incorporated gentle stretching movements with simple sketches of the human body, using each other as models. These culminated in exhibits and receptions included in the Uptown Art Stroll for…

Subiré al álbum mas escritos, poemas, cuentos reales, algunos surrealistas, un ensayo con mi filosofía y por último " un poeta sobre mi mesa ", éste lo comencé a escribir en el Forense Municipal, una " amiga " me pidió que le acompañara a una de sus clases de medicina, me llevé una bata blanca y me hice pasar por estudiante, una experiencia más.

The Artists Unite Website has been shut down for a couple of weeks due to errant maleware, and we just had it fixed. Apologies to those of you who tried to log on via the website and could not do so. However the Ning Membership Network was still open, therefore many of you may not have even noticed. If this should happen again, just go to artistsunite.ning.com. Thank you, Rosa (director AU)

My mission is to help individuals, families and communities to de-colonize (de-authoritarianism) and to re-indigenize (re-democratism) through music, ritual, house concerts and workshops where we ‘wage creativity’. Ours is an Age of Magnification, a time between world views, between the late-modern world view and the emerging participatory world view. It is a crucial time because to collectively and unconsciously continue in the late-modern world view is to degrade the life-sustaining…

Hi...please join us and help cover a park bench with stuffed animals. I have gathered lost, forgotten, outgrown stuffed animals for years to compensate for not having had any as a child. And now, having too many, even some Beanie Babies, they need a new home. I will raffle them off at the end of the day starting (@ 3:30-4:00 PM. Tell your stuffed toy story...if you had one, or didn't have, or still have one. Come, this Saturday, June 20, from 11 AM to 5 PM. Music by Harry…
