Journey to the Beloved Community
“Journey to the Beloved Community” was a two year “social arts” collaboration between the Chatham Savannah Citizen Advocacy Office and the Telfair Museum in Savannah, Georgia. These artifacts make visible the arts of social change; the creative work of doing justice by those who use creativity and the arts to engage people in strengthening right relationships.
Radical Beauty
Filmmakers David Hasbury and Patti Scott convey art filled images and events associated with the “Journey to the Beloved Community” including photos of the Telfair Museum exhibit. the Indigo Sky hosting of Savannah artists who created portraits of Citizen Advocates and proteges, and the children and elders from local neighborhoods who made story quilts also exhibited in the museum.
Everyone at the Table
For 40 years, Chatham-Savannah Citizen Advocacy has hosted an annual Covered Dish Supper to celebrate the ties that bind people in Savannah weaving a more beloved community. This gathering has grown into a celebration of inclusion, a portrait of hosting, story telling, story quilts, and the artful arrangement of every detail that reflects the diversity of creative life in Savannah.
