Sarah “Sally” Miller ’85 and Jack Doehring have published To Abstract: a book of Mr. Doehring’s poetry complimented by Ms. Miller’s multimedia artwork.
In an email, Ms. Miller described the publication as “a multimedia visual art book with zen-like poetry to teach art appreciation, particularly how to look at abstract art.”
According to her press release, To Abstract: was also a strong collaboration between the poet and artist.
Rebecca Lesser ’06 is working on a documentary with two close friends about drug violence and music in Honduras. According to her Kickstarter campaign, the feature-length film will search for the band Los Plebes de Olancho to ask the musicians about whether their music presents injustices or glorifies the drug culture of the country. “By documenting our journey,” the filmmakers write on their page, “We could show the world the problems that plague the country as well as the beauty and resilience of the Honduran people.”
Jake Robbins ’10 is working on a short, independent film to be set and filmed in Los Angeles. According to his Indiegogo campaign, the 10-minute film will be about two men meeting and agreeing to play a game that eventually reveals uncomfortable secrets and hidden truths. Mr. Robbins will be one of the principle actors and is the writer of the film.
Steph Tanner ’07 emails that she’s fundraising for a trip that will help students in Appalachia see more of the world.
She writes, “Hey Williston! I’m an ’07 alumna and a teach for America teacher in Appalachia. I’m bringing my students on a service trip to Honduras in eight days. We have raised over $13,500 for this trip, but still need $15,000. Because of the opportunities and experiences Williston provided me with, I am in my current position. I want to make it possible for my students (who have an average household income of $20,000/year) to have the choice to make the same types of choices I was privileged to. The first step is helping them to become global citizens is to enable them to see the world. Could you please reach out? We are currently $1,450 away from what we need to leave in eight days for our trip. The website is: http://kyhelpinghonduras.com/fundraising/donate-now/
Thanks Williston!
Steph Tanner”
