As you may or may not know, my sister Sydnie L. Mosley is a dancer living in Harlem, New York. She is presently working on a fabulous, inspiring project entitled The Window Sex Project! What is it!? I'll let her tell you below!
"Dear Friends,
I have launched an ambitious community arts project here in Harlem called The Window Sex Project. In short, I have created this project for women in Harlem to come together and respond to street harassment by using our bodies - the object of harassment, and our voices - what is often silenced, as tools to fight back and ebb away at a culture that allows us to be reduced to the sum of our parts the minute we walk out the door every day.
While the planning and registration for the community workshops is well underway with monetary and in-kind donations from Barnard College's Dance Department and Center for Research on Women, the YMCA, The Body Shop in Harlem, RINY Media, Hollaback! NYC, The Citizens Committee of NYC, INSPIRIT Dance Co. and more to come, I need to raise funds from individuals for the actual performance which I would like to take place in October or November of this year.
The Window Sex Project is a community based initiative, so I am reaching out to you, my community for your support. I need you to help me raise $6000 in the next 76 days. Ambitious I know, but more than possible! If you have the means to do so, please donate whatever you can. (It would be super cool if you could donate at least $50.)
I am using the crowd funding site RocketHub. Here's the link: http://www.rockethub.com/
It's just like KickStarter but cooler, especially because its headquarters are in Harlem. :) (I'm so committed to my local community.) Basically it operates on a TRADE not AID philosophy, that is, you buy into the project and receive cool rewards based on how much you donate. It's completely safe for your online transactions and it will give me the opportunity to produce this meaningful dance work."
I do hope that you donate to her dreams!
If you have any further questions about The Window Sex project please contact Sydnie at sydnie.mosley@gmail.com! She would love to hear from you!!
