A Message from Dallas

Subject: Occupy Dallas Culture - Culture Committee - Creative Factory Occupy Dallas

Hello, my name is Goran Maric.

I am an artist, creative cultural producer, and am a member of Cultural Committee and Outreach committee at OccupyDallas.org

Occupy Culture

Well, ever since the beginning of Occupy Wall Street, I and few other creative souls have been deeply moved by your organizational capabilities to get artists and other creative cultural producers engaged with Occupy movement.  And not just that, but your ability to present it in a quite intelligent and organized manner is what I find extremely appealing.

Here, in Dallas, TX, we, creative cultural producers and visionaries are working hard to get our creative brothers and sisters organized, so that all of us, 99%, together, can utilize our creative potentials for the advancement of our causes, while at the same time work on cultural enrichment of people directly involved at the site of OccupyDallas, as well as of people in the city of Dallas.

We, creative cultural producers and visionaries at Cultural Committee of OccupyDallas believe that the creativity of people involved in these Occupy movements is what has made these movements thrives in the face of all obstacles that are coming toward us on a daily basis.

Also in cultural production, it is the creativity, we believe, that makes works of art excited and ultimately successful.  In this analogy we believe that, ultimately, Occupy Movements throughout the world are the best works of art that are out there, and the people involved are the best artists for that matter, for it is people's, 99ers', creativity that makes these movements strive.

For that reason Cultural Committee created Creative Factory Occupy Dallas, an output of creative cultural producers, for we, creative cultural producers and visionaries, from Cultural Committee at OccupyDallas believe that each and every person is a creative factory whose output, the product has contributed to the ongoing struggle we, the 99%, are engaged in on a daily basis.

Dear Goran,

Thank you so much for your kind note. It is truly inspirational & beautiful. I hope we can harmonize creative spirits and energies to make art that matters for the 99%. I would like to publish your letter in our blog, with the link to your statement and the tumblr. Let's try to imagine some ways that we can collaborate or exchange to deepen the connection between the occupation here in NYC, yours in Dallas, and those surfacing around the globe. Our shared mission could not be more vital. Our collective and artistic survival is ultimately what's at stake.

All the best,
Paul
co-organizer of Occupennial

Dear Paul,
it would be of utmost importance to continue in the direction you suggested. Also please feel free to publish our letter and other info sent to Occupennial. I am going to share this beautiful news with people at Occupy Dallas, and of course, with my fellow creative cultural producers and visionaries at Culture Committee.

We already had some ideas to do a live stream connection with artists from Philadelphia and project that live stream onto the City Hall building that face our camp. We will utilize this as a kind of work, installation, performance, and at the same time we'll talk directly with the artists about future involvements and how we can breach the space that separates us. Tonight I am going to engage more in depth with another person in regard of this project.

Will get back to you guys quite soon.

Solidarity to our brothers and sisters in NYC
