Women Writing for (a) Change Jacksonville

<blockquote>“What has meaning for one of us turns out to have meaning for many of us. And as we are telling these truths about our lives the world is splitting open to reveal untold surprise and mystery.” —Maria Harris, Dance of the Spirit</blockquote> Join us for an engaging afternoon of art, talk, and tea as we gather to listen to the artists of the Metamorphosis Exhibition talk about what is meaningful to them—and therefore for us—on Sunday, April 21, from 2-4 p.m. (Those who idenify as women only, please.)This exhibit by ten Jacksonville women, as curated by artist Tatiana Kitchen, is intended to show how each artist has changed over the years…in the context of the rest of the world. In particular, we are asking these questions now, at the 10-year anniversary of Women Writing for (a) Change Jacksonville: Who were we then? Who are we now? And what comes next? And what wisdom informs our journey?Featuring Sharon Goldman, Elena Ohlander, Anna Miller, Marsha Glazière, Nykia Jackson, Barbara Hionides, Maya Freeman, Julissa Marie, Deja Gee, and Dimelza Broche.Join us for an afternoon of tea and talk, fancy desserts and chocolate hearts, and the transformative power of gathering in circle, together. Proceeds from tickets, art sales, and journal sales will benefit our outreach programs in the community, including immigrants, incarcerated women, and other communities in need. Thank you for your support.Event size limited. Register early.Tea Parties for ChangeThe tradition of holding tea parties to bring about radical change —originally, for birds—was born in Boston in the early 1900's. Boston socialites Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall stopped the devastating feather trade when Florida’s wading birds were on the brink of extinction. The pamphlets they distributed at their now-famous tea parties, attended by other Boston socialites, eventually educated the women on the dangers of the plume trade and stopped it cold. These tea parties also helped form the Audubon clubs that turned into the National Audubon Society. Their work culminated in the passage of the Weeks-McLean Law, also known as the Migratory Bird Act, by Congress on March 4, 1913, a landmark in conservation history.
