The next Dorchester Arts Collaborative takes place on June 24! At this DAC Breakfast, writer Aaron Devine will lead an exploration of "Empathy and the Other." Where does empathy come from? Can it be developed? How do artists truly represent what lies outside their own background or culture? Come to 11 Pearl Street, Dorchester, MA from 8 to 9:30 a.m. to find out. A continental breakfast will be served.
In this workshop, participants will fuel a discussion of empathy and The Other using examples from photography, painting, and literature. Participants are welcome and encouraged to bring in their own examples - from any medium - that resonate with this topic. The group will also follow a writing prompt that exercises their ability to empathize. For more information, contact the workshop leader, Aaron, at aajamde@yahoo.com. >> Read More
