what I think can be hard for people to grasp is that power and privilege -- and perceived power in particular -- have so many levels of permutation that are not limited to race or gender though those absolutely play a part. and that we all have to be aware of how those play into our interactions, particularly when our goal is to build a community around art.

such negotiations of space, touch, the ever-ambivalent "energy" -- all boil down to awareness, and its cultivation, which is a constant and unending process, for all of us.
