November Creative Excursions

The Laundromat Project

I had an enriching summer as a Create Change Fellow, participating in The Laundromat Project’s Professional Development Program.  With four other social practice artists and many artists and community members in Harlem, we created The Harlem Story Walk,  a dynamic storytelling event on September 21 that traveled up and down Lenox Avenue.  On Sunday, November 10, I’ll be presenting a case study of our experiences at the Arts & Democracy Cultural Organizing for Community Change Workshop.  The event will take place from 10 am to 6 pm, and our case study will be presented at 2:30.

I also had the great opportunity to create a conversation with another LP Fellow, Ladi’Sasha Jones.  You can read our wide-ranging dialogue on oral history, girlhood, and the body here: http://laundromatproject.org/blog/2013/11/01/creative-conversations-2013-nancy-agabian-ladisasha-jones

Upcoming Reading!

On Thursday, November 14, at 7:30 pm, I’ll be reading an excerpt from my book-in-progress, “The Fear of Large and Small Nations” at The Boundless Tales series at Waltz-Astoria,
