NEYM Sessions workshop 2012:
Title: True Visions of a Non Racial World
exercise: Close your eyes, breathe deep and slow, relax. You are in the year 2042 and goals for a racism free world have been realized. Move around freely, observe carefully, see the colors, experience the smells, the sounds. ask questions of the people you meet. What kind of world is out there?, What structures must exist in this world you are in to account for what you have seen? , What is the economic, political system?, How is education organized?, What makes this society tick?
Invite people whenever they are ready to go to the table with paper and art supplies. Draw this world you vision.

Story: a child holds and gives birth to a new world. All the children of every color play in healthy neighborhoods. They dance through the woods and over stone walls. They play in the fields and by streams of fresh water. They form friendships and read in libraries books by Morrison, Steinbeck, Steele, Shakespeare, Hughes, Achebe and Updike. They walk together hand in hand into a very happy world of flowers, dancing, clear lakes and mountains, music and deep worship.
