One Denver woman is preparing an art installation she hopes will encourage peaceful discourse as a rally takes place Saturday.
Friday evening, Jackie Burt was doing some impromptu coloring for her art project she will be showcasing Saturday at the People’s Fair during the “No Kings” rally in Denver. Each panel on her project is a prompt about a hot button issue that people can respond to.
“It’ll be an easy up, pop-up type. You know, like a fair tent. And then I have a system to hang everything. So, people will walk around with sticky notes, markers. They’re welcome to write directly on the signs. Or they can throw a sticky note on,” said Burt.
She hopes this will take the passion down a notch so people can talk about issues in person instead of emotionally commenting about them, because she wants Saturday’s event to be a peaceful and welcoming one for everyone…
