We are going to need all the help we can get once the proposal is launched. Any amount helps--the more donations you have the more visible you are on the site. Visibility is based on the amount of donors.

We Have Sponsorship! It's Beer!
Those attendees of Laughing In The Face Of... (on the eve of August 2nd) over the ripe, young age 21 will receive wonderful, frosty coldness--generously bestowed by the folks at Narragansett. Life is good...sometimes.

CHER Collective invites you to Laugh with us
Humor is a front, misdirection of the sneakiest sort. As tears spring forth from hearty guffaws, our defenses drop. Through these boisterous chinks in our psychic armor, dark and uncomfortable subject matter stealthily enters. Once mouths close and laughter ceases we are left to deal with that which remains (opened cans and worms, worms, worms). Propriety is always up for debate but it cannot be denied that comedy is an indispensable strategy. This practice allows us to acknowledge, process, and ultimately embrace our world, warts and all.
Famine, illness, war, and injustice press in on all sides. Caught in the casm between environmental collapse and economic catastrophe, it can be quit easy to suffocate in this cavern of despair. Seemingly powerless to change our circumstances, we’ve but a handful of options at our fingertips. We may choose to languish in the dark; hard hearted, reserved, and grim. Or...we can build a fire. It is here we tell stories, we tell jokes. Humor’s flickering flame plays upon the dingy surface of reality. In this light our heartaches and fears are bravely faced within a social context, rather than relegated to a dim and solitary realm of ignorance and escapism. Around this fire we nod, we smile, we understand.

Disclaimer: Childhood Stories are both Sad and Creepy
When revisiting the trappings of our childhood we so often discover darkness, something sinister behind all those festive layers. “Ring Around the Rosie” is a little ditty/game based upon the bubonic plague, “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” is tinged with a sneaking raunchiness, and Shel Silverstein is a dang heartbreaker. Balloons float, buoyed by hope, tied with sadness strings. As children (of the First World ) we often choose light over the gloom. As adults we cannot ignore the shadows cast on those sunny stories of yesteryear.
And There The Moon-Bird Rests From His Flight is an exhibition dedicated to these childhood investigations.
