SUMMARY:2nd Annual Community Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Hello friends\, You are invited to the 2nd Annual Community Gathering\, co-hosted by Neena Expressions and Nurture Denver! \nThe date and time are August 7\, 2022 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM.\nAddress is 2949 N. Federal Blvd. Masks are optional.\nThe theme of last year‘s gathering focused on speaking out about mural erasure and displacement of the beloved Escuela community. \nThis year‘s gathering will continue the conversation about Denver‘s Chicano murals and celebrate the community of Escuela Tlatelolco. It is important for new communities to learn\, understand\, and become part of Denver’s rich heritage. \nSince Denver‘s Chicano murals are now on the nation’s endangered list\, it is crucial to share dialogues in safe spaces that foster inclusivity and growth. In addition\, we will discuss other community and social justice issues\, with the idea of inclusivity in mind. \nI Invite you to be part of this expression; whether that’s a testimonial\, idea\, visual art\, music\, spoken word\, dance\, song\, poetry\, and/or writing. Why? Because art heals and gives people hope. \nThis is a free event. \n*If you would like to support this event and others like it\, please pay what you want with your preferred app. Your support is greatly appreciated.\nVenmo @Neena-Massey\nZelle @Neena Massey\nPayPal neenamassey@yahoo.com \nSocial Media\nFacebook: Neena Expressions\nInstagram: @neenaexp\nEventbrite: Neena Expressions\nLinkedIn: Neena Massey\nWebsite: www.neenaexpressions.com \nEscuela Tlatelolco\nThe Escuela Tlatelolco Centro de Estudios was founded by Corky Gonzales\, initiated by the struggle of the Chicano Movement in the 60’s. His daughter\, Nita\, continued to inspire direct activism from students\, staff and families. The school closed in 2017 after 46 enduring years. The Escuela community was separated and the murals inside and outside the building were erased\, due to unfortunate circumstances. Many people felt a sense of sadness and grief because the artwork was symbolic and meaningful to many Denver residents. The school was located on Speer and Federal Blvd.\, for 26 years. \nNurture Denver\nAs a “home for the whole human” Nurture invites all walks of life to embark on their own journey to successful self-care with committed members from all areas of the wellcare sector. Nurture is a community-based wellcare marketplace focused on self-care offerings for everyone. With over 60 vetted\, independent beauty\, wellness\, fitness\, cafe\, and retail businesses\, Nurture provides a place for our community members to meet all of their wellcare needs under one roof. Nurture is currently located in the formerly known Escuela Tlatelolco building. It is Nurture’s heart to support the efforts of remembrance and inclusion. To stay in the know with Nurture\, you can follow them at @visitnurture. \nRewild Happy Hour bites and drinks will be available at Nurture for purchase. \nNeena Expressions\nI studied Chicano muralists as my undergraduate thesis at UCD\, and then worked at Escuela Tlatelolco for 15 years. After the school closed in 2017\, I obtained my MFA-IA in Performance Art Education from Goddard College. I now work in the capacity of healing through artistic expressions\, raising awareness and sensitivity to struggles the community faces\, from different perspectives and viewpoints. \nThis project brings attention to communal wounds that need attention and acknowledgement\, and is very special to me because of my love for Escuela\, and the artistic murals in Denver. \nTo learn about future healing art events by Neena Expressions\, email neenaexpressions@gmail.com to be added to my mailing list. \nThank you Nurture Denver\, for hosting this gathering\, and to the Spirit of Tlatelolco for bringing us together at our former home base. Viva Corky! Presente! \nWe’re excited to see you soon! \nBest\,\nNeena and the Incredible Participants for the Community Gathering
