Together/Apart: A New Participatory Project from Friendtorship!
Posted on May 25th, 2020 by Kate Bingaman-Burt
Together/Apart aims to foster community and friendship through art and creativity. Though we cannot be together physically, we are all still a part of the same community we were before.
We hope to create a feeling of inclusion through shared experiences. Together/Apart is space to take creative risks, be vulnerable, process emotions, and share our perspectives. The distance doesn’t reduce the value of our connections with one another.
Join Us! Let’s make something Together, while we’re Apart. Follow them on Instagram too!
