Re-Direction

I created this blog earlier this year in an effort to keep a diary of my life... didn't really happen. So now I am repurposing this blog for my Arts Management Seminar on Social Media.

I find that more and more I rely on social media for news updates about things that matter most to me. I am a fan of the "NO H8" Campaign on Facebook as well as the "BP Oil News" site.

I have been following the BP story all summer and have been inspired to create art out of the events (thats right plural there was more than one) that occured in the gulf. My hope is to create something beautiful out of this disaster to remind us of what has happened. I feel that too many people have forgotten about the incident and that we all need to be reminded how fragile that ecosystem really is. Not to mention the thousands of people who lost their lively hood like the oyster fishermen in this article fromt the Sun Herald.
