Venice Arts: A Day In The Life On Saturday, April 26th, Venice Arts captured a dynamic day at its community arts center in Venice, from opening in the morning to seeing young people engaged in creating films, photo stories, puppets, and scripts, giving a glimpse into the creative process as it occurs here.

Formed in 1993, Venice Arts is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit arts organization that is committed to providing high-level arts education for low-income youth in the areas of photography, filmmaking, and media arts. In addition to its core art mentoring programs, Venice Arts also implements regional, statewide, and international projects with both adults and children; presents exhibitions, public programs, and workshops for adults centered around documentary photography and film; and consults on media arts, visual storytelling, and arts education with organizations and groups locally and internationally. It is the philosophy of Venice Arts that self-expression, particularly through the arts, has the potential to transform and empower young people to see greater possibilities for themselves and for their communities.

TEXT:

Children were created to Live, play and grow, have families around, be comfortable and away from any form of fear.
Children were meant to dream and paint, to laugh and be innocent, to bring us joy, to simply, be birds.
and i hear the birds crying, reckless and powerless, angry and flightless.
their trees have been cut down, their forests of security have been burned, the shelters are destroyed, the sky is dark, the ground is hot. if i fly i fall, If I walk I burn, and If I open my eyes I cry.
I'm a million shattered pieces of pain, I lost my Mom, my Dad, my siblings, where I grew up, my friends, my school, my toys. and I'm left behind, I'm left.
It's the birds of Palestine and anywhere else in the world where justice has lost its forms and left us Children with broken hearts.
it's where I belong, to the flocks of the flightless birds.
they teach me strength, and I can only remember this:

"Time cannot break the bird’s wing from the bird.
Bird and wing together
Go down, one feather.

No thing that ever flew,
Not the lark, not you,
Can die as others do."

p.s: The ending is "To a young Poet By Edna. St. Vincent Millay."
