Both are creation-based acts which can be used to heal and process emotions and both tell a history saturated by culture. Visual arts immediately convey emotion to the viewer and can carry a strong message more accessibly (arguably). Music requires the performer to re-access those emotions in performance. The question that arises then is, 'is reaccessing those emotions harmful or helpful?'.<br /><br />Thankfully, both types of art, specifically group art and music, can be used to cross divisional lines and move forward together. If you have a spare five minutes (hah), check out the Shropshire Foundation. They do work in Northern Ireland, Kosovo, and Uganda. I turned down a job with them right out of college because I wasn't ready, but if they were more theory-based, I'd work with them.<br /><br />http://www.shropshirefoundation.org/-Aa.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07929391566834767367noreply@blogger.com
