Aug 8 – Community Conversation Inspired By Courtroom Sketches

You are invited to: A Community Conversation at Fabulon Gallery. Artist Robert Maniscalco will be facilitating, inspired by his courtroom skethces of the Dylann Roof Trial, a forum for justice for the Emanuel 9 survivors and family, to whom the exhibition of paintings is dedicated. This work is on display as part of the show “The Quench Project and the mire of desire” on exhibit until August 10.

Daren Lee Calhoun of the Avery Center will be one of the participating speakers. We are also inviting other community leaders and interested citizens of Charleston to gather for a conversation about forgiveness and the underlying issues of race and injustice still plaguing a society flirting dangerously with the alt …right vision Dylann Roof had in mind. What can we do together and individually to change that trajectory? Does forgiveness mean the underlying issues about justice and inequality are no longer there? How does Charleston retain the image of being a place where forgiveness is a primary force for change, while not burying its collective head in the sand? How can we peacefully bring about justice for all? Robert and other participants will attempt to identify and unravel these issues; together we will come up with ideas for future activism.

Please share this information and become participants in the conversation.
