That's kind of an amazing project. I'm really stunned. These kids get something to do of their own, a way of self-expression and self-organization: That's the kind of opportunities kids need. Wow!

Excellent. Just keep going. Organized, chaotic, participatory, controlled, short, long, safe, risky, whatever- just don't stop, and allow time to process and evolve it. Continuity is key if we want to live results. What's next?

I applaud you and your team for your commitment and dedication. However, I wasn’t speaking from opinion – it just seemed to me that the project overlooked the whole component of “participatory” within the discipline of community art. There is a tendency, culturally, to “direct” everything – to use your word; from art to economics and politics. So the issue is not, as you suggested, which method is ‘good’, ‘works’, or produces something ‘nice’ – it is about what kind of generation we want to create. Do we want a generation just like ours and our forefathers, all who have been taught through ‘direction’?? All I am asking is, would Picasso have been Picasso if someone told him how to draw and colour?? It is said he sees the world through the eyes of a child, and that is the beauty of his work. Let us not deprive children from seeing the world through their own eyes so soon. Again, I hope my comment wasn’t taken in the wrong way! I admire you all and hope your work and dedication will inspire others to follow your path :) I wasn’t trying to belittle how tired or energy consuming the day was – I hope my comment wasn’t taken that way.

These kids were full of a lot of energy and they spent the afternoon like random atoms colliding, and perhaps literally in this case, bumping off the walls. So much energy that it made the rest of us all so tired just observing. In other words, that kind of youthful energy needs to be directed a bit in order to produce something nice. But sometimes, your way is good too :-D Ruba: thanks
