SUMMARY:Art in a Just Recovery
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS ART IN A JUST RECOVERY?\nArt in a Just Recovery (AIJR) is a local community arts project that explores community care in the context of our ongoing pandemic recovery in Guelph. We’ll explore these ideas together through art and story-telling. Through a series of online and in-person workshops facilitated by Art Not Shame and the Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition’s newly formed Creative Collective\, participants will create individual art pieces that eventually form a large-scale digital mural. We will also invite interested participants to contribute to building community-based knowledge about care. \nWHO IS INVOLVED?\nArt in a Just Recovery is a collaborative project between Art Not Shame\, the Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition\, University of Guelph researcher\, Amy Kipp\, social artist lead\, Melanie Schambach\, and several community Art Buddies. The project will also consist of two mental health workers who will provide support throughout the project. \nWe are inviting members from the community from ages 10+ to participate. \nWHEN\nWhole Group Workshops | February 27th – April 17th | Mondays\, 6-8pm | online \nArt Buddy Workshops | March 29th – April 22nd | Wednesdays\, Thursdays\, Fridays\, or Saturdays \nClick here to register. \nAs a participant of Art in a Just Recovery\, you will be a part of one of eight Art Buddy Groups that are based on art mediums and locations. Once the project begins\, you will able to share which Art Buddy Group you’d like to be a part of. \nOUR INTENTION\nWe’ve been thinking a lot about what community care means and feels like\, and it is our intention that care be the central intention of the project\, both in terms of how we create together and what we create together.

SUMMARY:Dopamine Dance Against PD - Parkinson’s Can’t Stop Me From Dancing!
DESCRIPTION:When Barbara Salsberg Mathews tweeted a video of herself dancing on February 25\, 2023\,\nshe didn’t expect to receive such an amazing response. Within just a few short days\, her tweet\n“Parkinson’s Disease can’t stop me from dancing” had received over 15\,000 views. \nEven more amazingly\, many other people living with Parkinson’s began replying by posting\nvideos of themselves dancing. What started as an optimistic and defiant tweet against PD had\nbecome a mini-internet sensation. This gave Barbara an idea. Together\, with founding PD\nAvenger member\, Richelle Flanagan\, Dopamine dance against PD was born. \nTo raise awareness about Parkinson’s and World Parkinson’s Day you’re invited to participate\nonline. We’re asking everyone to boost their dopamine and dance against Parkinson’s for the\nweek leading into World Parkinson’s Day on April 11. Help raise awareness of the fastest\ngrowing neurological condition affecting 10 million people\, 40% of whom are women and 30%\nunder the age of 60. Help break the stigma of Parkinson’s and take a video of yourself busting\nout your greatest dance moves and post them on social media starting on April 3 until World\nParkinson’s day on April 11. \nDance is a powerful form of self-expression and has been linked to benefits for people living\nwith Parkinson’s disease. Be sure to share your video using the tags #dopaminedancepd\n#dancepartypd and #dance4parkinsons starting on April 3 and encourage others to do the\nsame. \nBarbara says\, “Together let’s spread the message that Parkinson’s can’t stop us from dancing!” \nIf you’re looking for some inspiration\, take a peek at Barbara’s original tweet to see her dance\nmoves as well as some of the people who replied to her. \n“We hope that Dopamine Dance Against PD will raise awareness of Parkinson”s. There is still no\ndefinitive cause or cure for this disease. We must spark conversation\, spark action\, and spark a\nmovement. Together\, we can end Parkinson”s in our lifetime.” \n— Larry Gifford\, President PD Avengers \nFor more information\, or to book an interview\, please contact:\nBarbara Salsberg Mathews\, Cell: 416-565-2359\, salsbergmathews@gmail.com\nhttps://salsbergmathews.com Artwork provided by Barbara Salsberg Mathews
