ONE day on EARTH
11.11.11
One Day on Earth started in September of 2008 with the goal of creating a unique worldwide media event where thousands of participants would simultaneously film over a 24-hour period. The idea for the project was conceived while watching musicians from very different regions of the world collaborate on stage at the opening night of the 2008 World festival of Sacred Music. Their initial attempts to create music together were awkward, and it was clear that they had never collaborated prior to this moment. Eventually though, over the period of a couple minutes, what was disharmony became harmony, and a beautiful fusion of music came together for the first time. The moment inspired a similar vision for another universal form of communication—cinema.

from todays readings:
"museums are quintessentially places that have the potency to change what people may know or think or feel, to affect what attitudes they may adopt or display, to influence what values they form"

Cyd Charisse
#powerlesbians.
( if you know me, you know that i use that phrase a lot. i guess its my way of classifying inspirational women)
Cyd Charisse is arguably the greatest female dancer in Hollywood history.
she recovered from polio, studied ballet, and began starring in films.
she was awarded the National Medal of the Arts and Humanities, the highest official U.S. honor available in the arts.
...a captivating dancer, a femme fatale, a #powerlesbians.
