US Social Forum Artists Networking Space
US Social Forum Organizations, Participants, Supporters & Friends:

Visit the Artist Pages here to find songs, artwork, musicians, songwriters, performers, poets and artists that can attract attention to your projects and events and greatly increase your power to reach people.

Artists, Musicians, Poets, Performers:

If you are an artist who plans to attend the US Social Forum in Atlanta, GA, June 27-July 1, or you want to share your music or art in support of progressive causes and struggles with a large activist community, we invite you to join this roster. You can create a web page for yourself here and share images, music and ideas. One aim of the Social forum is to build relationships and collaborations. Use this site to announce your interests and skills and to make contact with others. The Social Forum is going to be AMAZING - and artists will make it even more so if we plan to work together ahead of time, and continue afterward.

Fill out the free Roster Registration first.  After you submit this form, you will be able to begin the process of creating your own web site in the Artist Pages area which includes uploading music, graphics, a web site link and more. You will also be able to edit your profile and participate in the Discussions area.

The best way of all to bring your art to the people who need it is to come to the US Social Forum. The Forum will provide lots of opportunities to perform your music or demonstrate your art in a multitude of indoor and outdoor settings during the course of the event. It will be a great place to network with others and to be both inspired and supported in your efforts as a cultural worker. Among other opportunities, activist songwriter Ray Korona is planning to host late evening open sings for songs of social justice (Wed-Sat, Solidarity Economy Tent, after plenary). 

This site is a collaboration between the Culture Works Collective, the Backbone Campaign, and the US Social Forum Cultural Working Group.  Our hope is that this site will continue to grow beyond the Social Forum itself to be a resource that links artists with activist organizations, universities and festivals so that progressive artists around the country can work with others to animate our aspirations. "If another world is possible, another US is necessary."

 
Artists' Discussions Area
Please use the Discussions area to propose ideas for collaboration during the US Social Forum in Atlanta from June 26-July 1, 2007.


For Example:  The Backbone Campaign is gradually building a "Procession for the Future" as rendered in the top banner on this webpage.   We envision the procession to be an iconic representation of a progressive vision for the counrty - a kind of portable Macy's Day Parade for We the People.  Elements of the Procession must be able to travel/ship easily, yet when assemble provide a large spectacle representation of some progressive agenda item such "Housing for All," "Universal Healthcare," "Election Integrity," "Fair Trade," or "Clean-Renewable Energy" etc.  

Our hope is that through communication and collaboration before and during the social forum, many pieces of this procession will emerge - already built perhaps - or that artists inspired by the vision will propose, build, and bring pieces to Atlanta, or agree to create work after the Social Forum.

Now please use this site to share your skills and the Discusions area to propose ways of working with others, ask questions, or offer suggestions.
