Garden for Change in Second Life |
The group she founded in Second Life has this as their charter:
"The Garden for Change is a place that celebrates real life work to change lives and to end homelessness. It illustrates the Places for Change Garden presented at the Chelsea Flower Show in London & created by some 200 people with experience of homelessnesss.
This beautiful garden was created to show biodiversity and sustainability. At the end of the show the plants and artifacts return to hostels and day centres.
The project is kindly supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation."
Her announcement is reprinted below:
Hello there!
Have you had the chance to visit the Garden for Change yet? Its a beautiful garden inspired by the RL garden made by 500 homeless people for the Chelsea Flower Show.
I'm working with the Garden to introduce a programme of events - exhibitions, talks, concerts etc
This is an invitation to the creative, artistic and inspirational people I know in SL to join us for an inspiration tour. I'd really like to tell you the stories behind and garden. I hope this will inspire you to create artwork, poetry, music, performance - all responding to the idea that we can see our world free from homelessness.
Then we can have exhibitions and shows that profile these creations!
I'll be taking the tour on Saturday 18th September at 1pm-3pm SLT. Hope you can join us.
In any case, if you would like to perform there, organize a poetry slam or exhibit artwork in sympathy with the aims of the SIM - please let me know!
Please join the subscriber group and sign our guest book - or make a wish at the wishing tree :)
