When we look at our cultural space today, our modernity, we owe a lot to the Yard. The yard is an allegorical for family, schooling and community. Alice Yard sits within that conception, Alice as mother, Sean, Nicholas and Chris as sons; papas, uncles, brothers passing on traditions, language, text in a communal way, food, music, art, the oldest way of speaking to communities. Its been a wonderful experience and wish there is more continuity with more explosive and exploratory work in the conception of a new modern family, community through the reconsideration of our political contemporary notions of art and design, text and language...this new activism needs more compelling synergies with our activist.<br />Congratulations Alice Yard... and the Alice Yard family....

Presented with this opportuni...Dear AY associates,<br /><br />Presented with this opportunity, I wish to reiterate that Alyce Yard for me, is a "splace" - people meet and ideas meet at and through Alice Yard. The open(-ended) approach to dialogue and learning to share is not only rare, but highly cherished. Thanks, and congrats facilitators and collaborators, on AY's 9th birthday!<br /><br />Tamara.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585505314839667937noreply@blogger.com
