Connecting

I realized a long time ago that this wasn't going to work until we connected with more people and possibly with other like organizations.

There is so much potential that it is hard to know where to start. On the other hand there is so little time it's hard to know when it might really start.

We had our first outside connection today though at Concordia University. It's very encouraging to be able to tell you that Nancy Davenport has agreed to let us use a piece she did for the Guggenheim museum in New York on the Names for Peace website.

Nancy Davenport is a photographer/artist who lives and works in New York city, she has taught at Yale University and has instructed at the New York school of Visual Arts as well as MIT. She has an interest in the new face of activism and it's lack of visibility. We are very proud to be able to present her work on our site. That will be arriving as soon as I have time to convert the data format of her work and spice up the Names for Peace main page.

We hope that this is just the beginning of many collaborations and interesting presentations that we will be able to bring to you over time as we grow and become effective.
