2020 Call To Create Application

I am delighted to share the relaunch of the Call To Create (C2C). In Mother Mercy’s second year we launched the Call To Create as a pilot project. After the success and lessons learned in the process, and the subsequent Open Studio on 11.10.19, we are deciding to do it again in 2020 with a new cohort & new guiding question. Please read the enclosed details to learn more about the process, commitment & expectations—then scroll to APPLY HERE to submit your application by 2.17.20 if you are interested. Looking forward to hearing from you!

On Juneteenth 2019

I’ve witnessed ways words can carve direction, ways skilled speaking can conjure the conjuror within. I’ve learned that proper spelling is less about rule when meaning and intent come from the core. Time tells all and two years after What I Mean By Mercy (our first production), I have a fuller sense of what I was reaching for in those poems, and in the collaborative effort to make them into short films. Today is a relaunching of Mother Mercy online, a space that aims to reflect the birthwork of this community as we move toward our vision.

Reflections: Making Mercy

Making Mercy – A Screening and Celebration was a living reminder of the redemptive and healing power of forgiveness. As the first public event for arts incubator Mother Mercy, it was important for the screening and celebration to reflect the spiritual nature of the creator’s visual narrative. Through altar work it was intended that this event be a moment for not only celebration but also remembrance and reflection, through the What I Mean by Mercy series.
