Socially Engaged Artists



Socially Engaged Artists

Clare Twomey
Clare Twomey’s installations have the social and historical context in which the installation is created as their point of departure.

Forever
Explores ideas of permanence, responsibility, memory, desirability, value and the history and process of making ceramics.

Theaster Gates
Gates’s training as an urban planner and sculptor, and subsequent time spent studying clay, has given him keen awareness of the poetics of production and systems of organizing. Playing with these poetic and systematic interests, Gates has assembled gospel choirs, formed temporary unions, and used systems of mass production as a way of underscoring the need that industry has for the body.

Invitation to Women of Meadowlark



November 5th, 2013

Dear Women of Meadowlark,

We would like to invite you to participate in our project titled, “Women’s Roles through Time.” We will connect 16 women, 8 residents at Meadowlark and 8 college students, to explore generational differences. We will gather information through conversational storytelling and differences in cuisine. The project involves four meetings:

1.      Tuesday, November 19th, 3:00 Living Room – We would like to get to know you and do a short interview about your perception of how women’s roles have changed.
2.      Thursday, November 21st, 12:30-1:30 Manhattan Room – You will find someone you connect with to be your partner and have conversation over coffee.
3.      Between November 21st and December 10th – Meet with your partner to cook! You and your partner will write down the recipe and document the process through photographs. Learn about each other through collaborative cooking and sharing a meal together!
4.      Tuesday, December 10th, Between 1-3 individually scheduled meetings – We will meet at Meadowlark for final interviews to ask what you learned about the generation of college students and collect your documentation of cooking together. In the end, your recipe could possibly enter a larger cookbook inspired by a variety of people from Manhattan.

Please RSVP to let me know if you are willing and interested in participating. We would like eight participants and if you are not able we will reach out to more. Please contact Lauren at lkarle@ksu.edu or call me at ***-***-****.


Sincerely,

Proposal



Women's Roles through Time

Who: 8 women in college and 8 elderly women from independent living at Meadowlark.

What: We will connect 16 women, 8 residents at Meadowlark and 8 college students, to explore generational differences. We will gather information through conversational storytelling and differences in cuisine.

Where: The first meeting will be in the bar and lounge area at Meadowlark so they can interact in pairs. The second meeting will be dependent on the participants and where they choose to engage.

When: Participants will meet November 18th for conversation over coffee. They will cook together the week after Thanksgiving.

Why: We are curious about how the role of woman has changed and what we can learn from one another.  Do women play a larger role in the work force outside the home? What impact does this have on family life? Does cooking continue to be a stereotypical role of women and something generations have in common? What are the differences in womens lives between generations? What are the commonalities that continue today?
