AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Do we really need Art?

This question came to me as a result of two separate conversations with two different people. One believes that without art civilization will die, and another one believes that after all we don’t really need art!

The reason to post something like this is simply to open up a dialogue between artists and share others' views. Hopefully we will all learn something from this.

What do you think? Do we need Art? Why?

3RD ANNUAL QUEER WOMEN OF COLOR FILM FESTIVAL
Presented by Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project
(QWOCMAP)

June 8 to 10, 2007
Brava Theater, SF

32 brand new films burst on screen in 4 film programs
that paint the vivid, provocative, and kaleidoscopic
stories of queer women of color. From the luminous
romance between two queer Asian women to the
dynamic portraits of immigrant Latina lesbians to the
vibrant humor of Black lesbians translating slang,
these films infuse our lives with hilarity and hope.

SCREENINGS ARE FREE!!!
