February 10 - 16, 2013

- LODGING: Gwylène alone in Jackson. She is staying at the lake house of the Museum coordinator's family.

- Monday: a tour of  each working groups' home base. With Carlton of  ALTERNATE ROOTS, daniel and Jayson local coordinators.
- THE CAPITOL: Conversing while fabricating; Wool Felting, Weaving, Hand-Made Paper, Quilting Photos with Jane Mullins and Amy Till at Pelahatchie; "To understand the world you must first understand a place like Mississippi" (William Faulkner); Teen pregnancy issues at Rankin High Social Studies Class. "We are growing a lot, together."
- PROJECT INNOVATION at MidTown Partners: Philosophical questions. A video in search of a sound. Questions to carve on the benches: they cannot be pre-digested sentences like "I love my school ",  passing the test of conventionality. Painting, collages, story telling ...
-  The ever-growing  TOUGALOO prop: the steeple of  the Tougaloo Chapel and one more platform are added. The ramp is now handicap accessible. Moss and ribbons are added. Pictures of the Civil Rights era are collected. Painting work. A workshop to teach  the acrylic medium  transfer technique.

POTLUCK:
Hesitations: daniel first proposes a potluck conversation among participants. Then he asked around and did not encounter a need.  
Revisiting the letter writing art work he and Jayson performed. 
New ideas around food: daniel decides that instead of everyone making food for others, perhaps the answer is for himself to cook for everyone. This led to coordinating with the Museum to host the art work "What is Dinner? a table must have a setting."
