Living Room Sacred Slam Sacred Slam is opening up this year. We will continue to organize our own events that challenge misconceptions through the arts, but in recognition that "we are the ones that we have been waiting for" Sacred Slam wants to encourage others, YOU, to organize too. We know it's not easy and so we have raised some money for this purpose. If you want to organize a Sacred Slam then email us and tell us about your event. Events may be any manifestation of a poetic performance: Visual art exhibit, poetry reading, dance, beat boxing quintets, graffiti, talks from the heart, subway sonnet songs, a fifth grade mural... Sacred Slam is interested in supporting events that challenge the stigma around:
But maybe you have another idea, and we welcome it. Sacred Slam will support up to ten events from October 2005 to October 2006 in New York City. Host it in your home, school, community center or claim a public space. We will offer technical assistance with organizing and publicity, and up to $150. Because we believe that sharing the stories and voices that emerge from this work is fundamental to combating stigma, projects with plans to document their event(s) will be given preference. Documentation can be video recording, audio recording, articles, audience/performer testimonials, photography, any combination of the above or something never thought of. Sacred Slam reserves the right to use submitted documentation for future projects including, but not limited to: publications, promotional materials and documentaries. In your emailed letter of interest make sure to tell us:
If it's a Sacred Slam then we want to support it. Sample Events:
