Shared Stories, a program sponsored by the non-profit Chinese Progressive Association of NYC, empowers high school youth to document immigration stories directly from their communities. I was invited to speak about advocacy and art, and I shared my “Sidewalk Empire” booklets as well.
Shared Stories is an important community program, and this has been my most memorable experience of the last year…see the fb page for more pictures!
The first story arc for “Sidewalk Empire” is drawing to a close, and I now have fancy booklets for “Sidewalk Empire: The Avenues.” If you’re interested, email eddietortue@gmail.com for details.
Over the next two months, I’m going to focus on finishing the long overdue introduction to “Wish the World.”
1st and 2nd runs of these t-shirts for “Sidewalk Empire” have sold out! The 3rd run (likely printed on a light blue shirt) will start next week. Each shirt is $15, shipping extra. Email eddietortue@gmail.com to order by Monday, 8/15.
