TRIBES Magazine New Years Forum
Here at TRIBES Central, we are ever at work preparing for the next issue of the magazine where we will continue to showcase independent artists, arts events of interest to our readers and the social themes that unite these contemporary arts and our society in the new millennium. However, in any given season, the cutting room floor is final receptacle for so many great ideas and timely themes that simply don’t make it to print (or digital publish in the web mag). We have collected some of these topics and, over the course of the next week, we invite you to engage them and share your opinions.

We’re kicking off the new year with a week of daily discussions on TRIBES FACEBOOK (also reposted here on our new BLOG). We invite you to participate in our NEW YEAR’S forum on topics including: Reality TV and the politics of representation; Bringing in the New Year TRIBES’ style; Shout Outs to the Arts Collectives; ACC HOOPS; and discussions of Women in HIP HOP in preparation for the SPRING 2012 issue featuring an interview with female emcee, SHELLY B!

I sat at the kitchen table with my spouse, ears glued to Democracy Now on 90.7 WNCU. “Just five nations in the world are responsible for 90% of all executions- China, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United States.” The phone rings. It’s my mother calling simply to call out. “We’re so busy trying to keep our heads above water, we can’t focus our attention on social change.” (“Some would say that’s the point,” is my only response).
