Food is an element in life which has so many enriching aspects. It is in the preparing, the creating and in the sharing of meals where we are given many gifts. Remembering Dinner is the latest project of the ASP Weekend, in which participants contribute treasured recipes from their ancestors and dear friends who have past on. The goal is to create a collection of recipes to share with the community over the course of several potlucks (separate from the community potlucks).

This collection will also result in a cookbook which can be applied as a fund raising tool for MMOS. These recipes would be collected during a series of community potlucks, beginning late September.

Each Remembering Dinner Potluck would go like this: A person brings a prepared dish of the treasured recipe and its text. The one criteria for the dish is that has 6-8 servings. All are welcome to participate. For folks who do not bring a dish a request can be made for them to bring beverages. If a community potluck is held once a month for seven months a fine collection could be had and then a cookbook could follow.

Little Angels is a family event acknowledging and celebrating deceased loved ones from the perspective of the child. Children participate in art activities such as wing-making and decorating, face painting, sugar skull decorating, story telling, and theater. Finale workshops are offered so that the children can participate in their own Procession/Finale-Spectacle. Angels on stilts lead the children on a procession around the Downtown public square to the finale stage area, where artists present a live performance-spectacle.

The public is invited to bring photos and drawings of their children’s deceased loved ones: pets, family and friends. We will scan them on site and project them large on the library wall. Bring a candle in a container to illuminate the children’s procession as the sun sets.Following the Little Angels Finale, the Spoken Word Soul Poetry begins…

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The All Souls Procession Fundraising Committee is seeking artwork donations for an art auction at the fall fundraising event “Bones for Bones”. This indoor event is on October 1st in the auditorium at Armory Park. Along with the art auction we will have an outstanding lineup of local music and performances. Food will also be available for sale. All funds will benefit the annual All Souls Procession and organizers Many Mouths One Stomach.

This is a great community opportunity to show your work and give to our most well attended public event. The All Souls Procession is perhaps one of the most important, inclusive and authentic public ceremonies in North America today. The Procession had its beginnings in 1990 with a ritualistic performance piece created by local artist Susan Johnson, who was grieving the passing of her father. Inspired by Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos holiday, Johnson felt she should honor her father in celebration and creativity. The performance was very well received and many artists were inspired to continue growing the Procession into its modern incarnation. Today, over 20,000 people participate in the 2-mile procession and related events. This event is funded entirely by grants, donations, business contributions, and fundraising.

Your artwork can help us meet our goals for the 21st All Souls Procession.

Guidelines:
• Artwork will be sold in either a silent auction or raffle on Friday, October 1st at Armory Park, in conjunction with other fundraising events. This event takes place from 6-12pm.
• Artists are encouraged to submit art with an All Souls theme, but it is not required.
• Artwork must be ready-to-hang with wire, hooks, or other devices appropriate to artwork weight. For questions on artwork display please contact the organizers.
• Artists will be able to set the starting bid price for their artwork.
• All proceeds benefit the procession.
• Artwork may be submitted at the Sculpture Resource Center on Sept. 24th, 25th, and 26th from 3-6pm. If you are unable to submit artwork during these times, please contact us for other arrangements. Submitted artwork must come with (1) a complete application and (2) an attached 3×5” note card with the following information:

As organizers of the Procession, our priority is always quality of experience over quantity of participants, and though the Procession has grown exponentially, we will always strive to propagate  an “ALL SOULS PROCESSION” that is a grassroots, non-commercial, hyper-inclusive, sacred event dedicated to honoring our ancestors and loved ones who have passed on.

ASP ROUGH GUIDE

DO: Come and enjoy the experience in a way that works for you. Dress up, get out of your regular regiment and persona; make a mask, a puppet, an art installation, an altar; some way of honoring those who have gone before, who we remember, honor, release, and embrace. Allow yourself to flow into an experience of real community, where we interact in ways that are different, authentic to our nature, and open to our feelings.

DON’T: Be high, drunk, or in anyone’s space in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. This event should be safe to bring a newborn infant to, or your dear aging grandmother. What allows the magic to happen is for everyone to feel safe. It is your job to create this kind of space. The moment we require help from police or any other authority to make sure that happens, we have lost something truly precious.
