Danielle Cowan’s Supporting Soundscapes of Hope, a community workshop for care workers.
This interactive session calls on the audience to actively participate by capturing the sounds of hope in the spaces you work or call home. We’ll play back the sounds submitted, share reflections and add our reflections to a scroll. The intention for this workshop is to connect with others who share a deep commitment to the community. Audience participation is a crucial aspect of this workshop, as it invites everyone to join in, release stress from civic duties or budget constraints, and co-create with a crew that cares.
At the end of the broadcast, you'll also have the chance to share actionable ways listeners can support local care efforts and become allies. Tune in, submit your sounds, and be part of shaping the soundscapes that uplift your neighborhood!
*Before the workshop, please consider the sounds that resonate with you and submit them to dc3136@bard.edu a day in advance so we can listen back together as a community.
