Judge and See the Humanity at the DNC

Eloise an activist from Vermont told me, "It's really powerful to explore tension and judgment publicly as its usually something people keep inside or get really loud with at demonstrations.  But getting feelings on paper is not like chanting. I liked mixing together the calm and the tension in the same moment as I made art."

Delegate for Bernie Sanders reflects on how the art making meditation at the Democratic National Convention helped him release tension and grief after Bernie did not win the nomination.

Matt, a Bernie Sanders delegate from Jacksonville Florida said, "I’ve had a bad past couple of days as Bernie lost.  I was frustrated and you caught me on the street that little guy (on the sign) looks happy.  So I gave it a try.  You just let out your calm. It was really relaxing being able to express myself on the street.  When you said to notice my judgments and connect with humanity at the same time, I watched the people across the street and connect and talk and love each other.  I liked that."
