ART, ECOLOGY, GARDEN: THINK, TALK &
DO
An interactive, participatory event for all
We are seeking participants for a monthly ART,
ECOLOGY, GARDEN: THINK, TALK & DO event at
the OMI/Excelsior Living Library & Think Park. It will provide
a wonderful opportunity to learn about the intersection of art, ecology,
and gardening, and a platform for your own contribution. Additionally,
we will continue to enhance our public environment and learn about
organic gardening, native trees, fruits, flowers, and vegetables,
and how take care of them, in a beautiful setting. It will also be
a fun way to meet wonderful people.
The third ART, ECOLOGY,
GARDEN: THINK, TALK & DO will be Saturday,
July 11th from 10am-3pm. ART,
ECOLOGY, GARDEN: THINK, TALK & DO will take
place on the first Saturday of each month (with the exception of January).
What is A Living Library?
A Living Library is a holistic concept created by
Bonnie Ora Sherk in 1981 and now sponsored by Life Frames, Inc., the
non-profit organization she founded in 1992.
A Living Library, or A.L.L. for short, provides a vision
and shows a way to create meaningful and healing ecological and sustainable
environmental and educational transformation in communities - locally
and globally. A.L.L transforms sunken meadows and brownfields, urban
sprawl and desolation, public parks and plazas, concrete and asphalt
schoolyards, civic centers or undeveloped wastelands into vibrant
and relevant community learning environments and highly visible public
magnets offering innovative and practical community and economic development.
In San Francisco, there are 3 Branch Living Library & Think Parks
underway: OMI/Excelsior Branch, Bernal Heights Branch, and Chinatown
Branch. All sites will soon be linked through Green Powered Digital
Gateways.
Please RSVP and let us know if you will be able to join
us and please spread the word to anyone who might be interested. To
RSVP, please contact Jana Blankenship at mirjana.blankenship@gmail.com.
