[-empyre-] All Call: May discussion Social Practice and Social Reproduction: the politics of participatory art

[Renate Ferro]

Hi Babak and Carol Anne,  Great to hear from you both.  I think the
moderator for next month is primarily interested in Social Practice Art.
However your project is wonderful  If either of you would like to propose
to moderate an other theme though (based on this project or your interests
in other areas) just write a proposal with a list of eight to ten guests
who you might invite to join you and send it on.  Right now we are
programming for 2017.  Best.  Renate
