[sudo-discuss] Potential for Art Murmur and Solano Art Walk

[Patrick Schmidt]

Hi y'all,

Even if a long movie on Art Murmur is not the most social event, it
was a very good movie and I am glad we watched it.  (Money and Life)

Interestingly our neighbor (the door next to the kitchen) seemed to
completely disagree with the core message and it seemd to be defending
our current system.
The piano on the street was a wonderful thing, thanks Sam &co.

With the Art Murmur we have a big potential to grow something awesome.
I hope our community will grow, continue to open up, embrace
diversity, and will have many awesome projects, discussions and
exchange to come.
We live in very interesting times and this opening up might be the key
to something really special that can happen in Oakland.
I hope  as a community we will stay away from accusation, blame and
criticism and focus on what unites us. coming together and creating a
better future.

One thing that we could easily pull of is making the Art Murmur event
@ Sudo to networking and community event for hackers, creatives,
change agents, activists, green movements...
we can invite all the hackerspaces around and all the non profits we
are connected with and  reach out to more local groups. (Monthly BACH
Networking ?)

Similar the Second Saturdays we have the Solano Art Walk in Berkeley.

With inspiration and help of our Community we declared the Open Fine
Art Gallery a Hackerspace. It is located in the storage room of the
vacant Oaks Theatre.
it has a secret entrance to inside the theatre. we could make a movie in there.
(what about a movie about reclaiming the theatre, maybe it will be a
self-fulfilling prophecy)

if we create a well networked community and reach out to the first and
generation hackers who made it to money I believe we could reclaim the
whole theater and BACH Hacker University/Hotel/Conference
Center/Theater/Space/School

Saturday June 8th will be the first official "Solano Art Walk", and it
would be wonderful to show
the local community here what and how awesome hackerspaces are.
Maybe with a huge map of the bay area with all the hackerspaces,
electronic kits, LED strips...
any art projects that sudoers and other hackers might wanna show.

This Saturday May 11th we have an art opening as well, 7-9pm is a good
time to come by
and check out the space and share visions for the future.

Maybe someone wants to come out and wants to declare the space 'Sudo-gallery"

the space is payed for until july, all events are free and donation based,
the rules are "be excellent to each other and say hi"
the conflict resolution is we focus on love peace and unity (we do not
support hate, separation or fear).

What do you guys think of having a Art Murmur planning meeting 10 days
- 2 weeks before the next murmur?

anyone interested in hacking the gallery or hacking the theatre in
north berkeley?

best,
patrick
