The 24 Hour Conversation













This will be the third year of our annual 24 hour conversation! I am so glad that this year we are spending our 24 waking hours in Hartford as part of the Bread Cycle Works Project.

The 24 hour conversation was a project we started two years ago as a way to engage people in community building through creative discourse.The first event was held in New York City at chashama art space, the second in Sofia, Bulgaria at the Union of Bulgarian Artists.The conversation will be simulcast on the internet for web based participation at www.24hourconversation.com as well as documented, recorded, transcribed, and printed into an ongoing book of shared authorship.

As a way to learn more about the Hartford Community we are hosting the 24 hour conversation as a community forum. We encourage everyone to come or join us online and share with us your vision of the ideal place or community and how your current place or condition can be improved upon to closer resemble that ideal.


I will leave you with this-

We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been — a place half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catch glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free. - STARHAWK
