> Humanity

>
> When does it stop? Why do we listen to account after
> account of
> violent acts day after day until we become painful cynics even if
> we are
> unaware of it? What world do we leave for our children?
> Truthfully, we are
> becoming much more aware of ourselves in relation to the world and
> the people in it.
> This is to our benefit. But there are pockets and condensation of
> wrongful
> acts that serve to throw us off course. Rather than turn us
> against each
> other, as those responsible for these acts would have it, they
> unite us and
> strengthen us against a barrier of aggression. This is evident in
> the outpouring
> of faith and kindness present in the general population as a
> reaction to 9-11
> and other tragedies. It is in this spirit that we are seeking art
> as a
> documentation of truth and hope in the face of indescribable
> suffering. This can
> manifest personally, as well as collectively for this upcoming
> exhibition.
>
>
>
> The exhibition will take place in Lawrence, MA, itself a
> cornerstone of the Industrial Revolution, home of the Bread and
> Roses Strike of the
> early 1900‚s. Workers from the Mills walked off the job to ensure
> the humane
> treatment of themselves, their children, and future generations.
> The city has
> long ago changed, but the mill buildings remain, as a constant
> reminder of what
> is possible, both great and challenging, in the human spirit. The
> city is
> undergoing a fine renaissance, the mills being converted into
> beautiful living
> and working spaces, while taking care to include the local
> population in the
> evolution of the city. There is a vibrant art community
> developing, with
> studios, galleries, and other venues being welcomed and nurtured.
> Gallery 181 is
> situated in a spacious, converted mill building, amongst eclectic
> retail shops
> and other businesses.
