Peace Today, Abundance For All ---

Posted on Oct 12th, 2008 by Yvette : CulturalFusion Yvette
Cultural Fusion Introduction 101


Official Level

This video is an introduction to Cultural Fusion Art as Philosophy origin, concepts, projects, etc with the two primary metaphors I have been using for the model- galaxy formation (inclusion) and recipes/cooking from the heart (integration of the intuitive and abundance). This is another step in the documentation of the creative process from hope to realization.

cfAaP is a flexible bridge between good will and economic opportunities through Art. And so this is another component to advance the dialogue with you who are engaged.  (To whom it may concern: new website, and cfAaPNetwork broadcasting are in pre-launch-let me know if you want to contribute)

Moving through this creates the context for developing cultures of peace and exploring alternatives to economies based on scarcity and instead invite you to join in creating an economy of abundance.

If you are interested in joining us to take this video or project series to the next level let's talk!

Personal level

Originally, I had planned to only share these videos internally with the core team I have been working with, but I changed my mind. One of the reasons I decided to share them although it doesn't perfectly reflect my vision is that this series is largely inspired by my own issues with perfectionism....breaking an old pattern to learn about self-acceptance. This is major issue in creating peace, as the lack of it in the world is a reflection of the same lack in each of us as individuals.

If we can not accept ourselves then we can accept someone else and this leads to the need to be judgmental, blame, and even punish others.

The opportunity to be loss makes it worth the risk for my ego to share this imperfect video and I see that if I didn't I would miss the chance to be the first or one of the first to chart this new territory.

In addition, this is how space is made for other people to join in. This There has to be room for others to join and express the best of themselves and that means they need to see the change their contribution makes in really clear ways. If I waited until I covered all the pieces myself or just hired professional firms then the chance to engage people at the grassroots level in the most meaningful ways would be loss.

Creatively Social Level

That is fundamental to the concept, expressed ideally in "stone soup" story.

In this case, I show up with an idea and a pot--- Ron was the first to pay attention, which led to everyone else that followed having something to pay attention or contribute to - intangible assets (knowledge, talent, etc.) or physical resources (money, technology, etc.) expressed in the SoulFood model as the vegetables, meat, spices and that is how the meals (aka projects) come to be....we then can document with these videos and artworks that Cultural Fusion process and see how it take shape in a way that to me seems more honest than if it was just written as an article, paper, etc in retrospect.

As this was conceived as an alternative to Protest Art and I have been from the start interested in solutions and models that support transparency each part of the process is a revelation in how these intentions can be realized.
