Art and Social Justice: Letter-Writing Workshop
Over the MLK weekend I attended the 3rd annual Moishe Kavod House Arts Retreat at the Peace Abbey, in Sherborn, MA. The weekend was full of art making and various artistic expression. My favorite workshop was the Art and Social Justice workshop. We created mail art and wrote all sorts of letters to people who need to hear specific messages, mainly politicians. I am particularly interested in this topic as it relates directly to my thesis topic! (Strengthening and facilitating interpersonal connection via letter-writing and mail art)

GAGA for Screen Printing
This past weekend I helped coordinate an evening of down and dirty screen printing with the NESAD Graduate Association of Graphic Artists. We had about ten designers busting out over 50 one of a kind GAGA T's. Go here to see all the photos from the GAGA T-Shirt Screen Printing event, thanks to Nick DiStefano.

The Wilderness Downtown
In the Arcade Fire's The Wilderness Downtown, you get to personalize a multi-layered music video and watch as it unfolds across pop-up windows that layer over each other. I love how layers add to the interactivity of this piece.
