Compassionate robot. Innocence 2 fans will beg to differ. Seems like the Japanese and the Americans have different conceptions of life with regards to this.
I've visited many Compassion International projects in the last few years. From Guatemala, Uganda, Philippines, and here in Haiti. I'm blown away every time by the hope these children have despite living in such dire situations. This picture gets me because of the look on this kids face. He was so proud to hold that sign (he made it by the way, not us.)
For those of you unfamiliar with Compassion International, they are literally changing the lives of over a million children in poverty around the world. This is only possible through sponsorships from you and me. If you want to know more about Compassion, you can contact me or visit their website at Compassion.com
2021-03-13 Hambidge Second Saturday STUDIO TOUR at the Cross-Pollination Art Lab Lindbergh Center
SCHEDULE
• In the Cube Gallery (noon-4pm) you will find "The Space Between," a new project from Dr. Fahamu Pecou that works to dispel the pervasive myth of violence and discord within the Black male community, and seeks to both normalize expressions of care, concern, and compassion while challenging the pervasive image of Black violence and trauma.
• Jessica Brooke Anderson will be offering visitors (one at a time) an opportunity to select a gift from her collection of family objects. She recently inherited 3 houses worth of heirlooms, and is using this opportunity to redistribute these items to the community. In exchange for "adopting" a piece of her family history, she is asking to photograph each object with its new owner, in hopes of creating a new family tree, made up of strangers, all interconnected through the lives and objects that came before.
• Participate in a self-led writing exercise / creativity booster in the space outside of Arvin Temkar’s studio. Arvin is a writer and photographer whose work examines complexity, tension, and hope in a multiracial, multiethnic America, and has been published in major publications across the country. He will also be displaying some of his photography in the windows of his studio.
• Visit the Teller Productions Workshop to observe artist Scottie Rowell’s shadow puppet play time and experience Push. Press. Pull., an ever-changing art installation exploring human’s love of buttons. Only one family/group/pod allowed in the space at time.
• Jasmine Williams and Sierra King are excited to share with the public in progress works across both of their disciplines of printmaking and archiving. The public at large is welcomed into their space, limited to 2 at time, to view THROUGHLINE - where the lives of Black Women Artists intersect. Additionally there will be limited edition "I AM WOMAN" tote bags that were hand printed in the art lab and older edition prints available to purchase by Jasmine Nicole Williams.
• FRANK/ie CONSENT will present ‘Love Shrines,’ their first installation of shared things, in which their new album (collaborated with The Cradle) will play with casual, non-demanding events happening and video documentation of their recent love baptism. After the installation, there will be a live music performance by FRANK/ie CONSENT and the generosities of people they love. The performance will begin around 5:30.
• Floyd Hall will be presenting Seeing + Sounds, featuring a series of streaming recorded audio content in addition to visual projections.
• From 2-3:30, Matriarc Society will be providing a photo shoot session with a local femme music maker at no cost. Guests may observe the process from the windows on the corner of Magnolia Lane and Morosgo Drive.
• Dance Hub ATL residents are approaching this event as an open process with space to have conversations if visitors are interested in learning more. Four artists - Porter Grubbs, Catherine Messina, Frankie Mulinix and Nadya Zeitlin - will share glimpses of their current creations. In addition to performances, we will introduce a new addition to our Hub - installations by Dima Alekseyev. For more details and updates, check their Instagram page @dance_hub_atl.

Tibetan Monks from Gaden Shartse Phukhang Monastery open their week long stay at Misericordia University. They share insight into their culture, practices and paths to inner peace and compassion.
They will create a sand mandala throughout the week in the Pauly Friedman Art Gallery.
This painting has a story behind it. A doctor friend of mine came to me and asked me to reproduce this picture for him. He told me that the little girl in the picture has a terminal illness, and probably wouldn't live much longer. I felt honored to be asked to do such a painting. In the painting her father is holding his daughter, and the doctor told me that they praying so that she might get better. I don't know how the little girl is doing, but I am moved everytime I see this painting, or a photo of it.

This quote hung on Dorothea Lange's dark room door:
"The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention."
~ Francis Bacon
In our daily lives we may not particularly like what we hear and see, but when one has the courage to contemplate these things without error, confusion, or our imagination, then one is in a nobler place where compassion will come forth.
Compassion for one's self...,
Compassion for another...
Dorothea Lange held a compassionate eye behind her camera.

Was there a passer-by with compassion for this poor nude statue
in the cold or did the artist have second thoughts?
I believe this is a grandson and father giving their grandfather and father (respectively) a helping hand down the street.
Something about this scene really moved me. It reminded me of what family is really about.
I felt compassion for the grandfather as walking seemed to be a bit of a struggle for him, but in the end he was in good hands. This scene was a reminder to me that although I seldom see it anymore, there is a little hope for humanity yet.

compassion
is building bridges
from heart to heart
even though
they are oceans apart.
it is reaching out
and helping out
a nameless,
faceless
stranger. (ire for Haiti)
This child is a Compassion sponsored child. We met him and his mother the first day we were in Port-au-prince, when they told us their house was one of the many destroyed by the massive hurricane earlier this year. When the waters were rising, the mother held her new born child, but the water eventually became too strong and she lost control of her child. As the waters destroyed their home, this boy managed to grab on to a tree and held himself there praying for God to save him. He held on through the entire storm. Unfortunately his younger sibling didn't make it.
We traveled far to come to the sight of his old house to shoot video and I really wanted to snap this picture. The thing that struck me about this picture is the expression on his face. In the midst of the storm, not to mention the conditions of Port-au-Prince, this kid has hope... Real Hope.
Because of Compassion, this child is not bound to just living a life of poverty, and he knows it. If you'd like to learn more about Compassion, please visit www.Compassion.com.
