May Arts Marathon Participant: Jessica Weitz
Mission: I will be working on a writing and installation piece called D/evolve. It will include poetry, short essays, paintings made with soil and plant pigments, and a woods installation. This work is partially inspired by participating in a National Science Foundation grant to reimagine biology through a feminist/queer lens through work on a module called The Feminist Poetics of Creatureliness.
Message: The May Arts Marathon is CASP’s key fundraiser. CASP hopes to raise $50,000 this year. With all the uncertainty around the new administration, one thing we know for sure is that people who are experiencing violence and terror in their home countries will continue to seek asylum in this country. Sponsors like you are key to CASP being able to support its mission of cultivating a supportive community for asylum seekers in Southern Vermont, while fulfilling basic needs and accompanying them on their journey towards building a better life in this country.
The May Arts Marathon is a community effort. Artists support their vision for a just world by sending copies of their creative work to sponsors like you 5 days a week for the month of May. Sponsors donate to support this work. Together we support asylum seekers who, in turn, enrich our community with their determination, energy, and diverse experiences.
