383 Spirituality and Politics "Living Together and Making Art in the County Jail"


Listen Later

It's Theresa and Marielena talking the art of living together on Spirituality and Politics. First up, a share about a special local happening. On Sunday, July 21, Hey Neighbor Food Club is hosting their first event at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston (4–6pm). It’s a preorder-and-pickup food event featuring handmade dishes -- tamales, pupusas, empanadas -- prepared by a small group of incredible local chefs, most of whom are female immigrants launching their very first food businesses.

The chefs are part of the Briico Food Academy, which helps new entrepreneurs build sustainable income, community connections, and confidence through food, without needing outside capital or formal business experience. Each meal tells a story of migration, tradition, and resilience, and proceeds go directly to the chefs.

Marielena shares her experience teaching art to women incarcerated at the Ulster County Jail and the many interactions that taught her about them and their lives including surprising insights through the vision boards the women created, their creative writing exercises, and how they collaborated with one another. Through that experience she shares her thoughts about how living together in an incarcerated setting can teach us about the art of living together in a broader community. The womens' art "Voices Unbound" is currently exhibited at Unison in New Paltz now through August 31st.

This weekend is Upstate Art Weekend. Lots is happening, including some amazing events at Unison.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

Our show music is from Shana Falana!
