Hello, Folks! In December, we had our play performance of Richard Berman’s “Super Angel and the Divine Sidekicks Battle the Government”. Two Emerson College film students came to common art to film the process of the making of the play. Last Wednesday, we had the world premiere of the documentary! The documentary was wonderfully done. It was touching to see the community reflected back to itself in an art form in which few people get to see themselves represented. When different members would come on-screen, there would be hollers and cheers from the crowd. It was a great way to honor and celebrate common art and the creativity of the community. Adam, one of the filmmakers who came for the premiere,  did a Q&A with the community after the screening, which further helped members connect with the film.

This Sunday our community will be participating in Winter Walk around the Boston Common, which will raise money for unhoused folks in the area. Common art will have a booth at the event to help raise awareness for the program by showing off some of our members’ artwork. It should be a very fun (very cold) morning! Send your warmest thoughts our way on Sunday!
