Sustainability, Community, Art: A Conversation with Marc Bamuthi Joseph
Submitted by Steve on September 2, 2011
The Line, a Minneapolis/St. Paul-based website focused on the "new economy," features Oakland artist and community activist Marc Bamuthi Joseph, who will be a keynote speaker at the 2011 GIA Conference in San Francisco next month.
In mid-August, the multifaceted California artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph was in residency at the Walker Art Center, asking the question: “What sustains life in your community?” He asked this question of such local artists as Leah Cooper, Desdamona, Allison Herrera, Wing Young Huie, Marlina Gonzalez, Robert Farid Karimi, Rick Lowe, Leah Nelson, and Tish Jones to learn more about the intersections of artistic engagement, sustainability, and community in the Twin Cities.
