Unurbanist Assembly 2022 - An even more intentional experience For the past two years, as a Juneteenth celebration, the Unurbanist Assembly hosted by Thrivance Group has created a 23-hour virtual community that focuses on what it would look like to center joy, healing, and atonement in urban planning and policymaking. This free event is back for its third installment on June 17, 2022, and this year’s theme is 'Decarceration and spatial reparation'. This year a select community of Unurbanist community members will join the Thrivance Group in Atlanta, GA for a series of in-person gatherings. This year's assembly will feature youth voices, guest teachers, artists, and culture bearers from across the globe. The event is hosted by Thrivance Group, a socially-responsible planning firm working in the interest of racialized people to bring transformative justice into public policy, urban planning, and community development. In alignment with this year's theme, the Thrivance Group will support one person recently released from the carceral system. This will cover the estimated cost of housing, groceries, and transportation costs for 12 months. Anyone who is interested in centering healing, and disrupting the harmful legacy of urban planning are invited to attend. If you are interested in attending, contributing to this initiative, or partnering with this event, please email sarah@thrivanceproject.com. Contributions: For those attendees who are able to financially support the Unurbanist Assembly 2022 programming, we encourage a contribution of $10 dollars or more. In alignment with this year's theme of "Decarceration and spatial separation", the Thrivance Group has made the commitment to support one person recently released from the carceral system with the contributions gathered.

We are also accepting contributions to provide honorariums to Unurbanist guest speakers, panelists, and artists The cost of an honorarium for one Unurbanist session is approximately $250

Angelina Reaux is a lyric soprano who performs opera, theatre and cabaret to glowing reviews across the U.S. She has collaborated with Leonard Bernstein, mastered works by composers ranging from Gershwin to Puccini - but there is one artist that she is associated with more than any other - Kurt Weill. In this concert, Reaux celebrates the love songs of Weill in German, French, and English, accompanied by Scott Dunn, pianist. "Réaux is America's most dramatic singer. She can sing with a disarming sweetness, gentle longing, passionate regret, deep anguish, white-hot rage, engaging wit, high hopes, worldly-wise cynicism, the voice of experience - often in the course of a single soing." The Boston Globe “Réaux brings a better voice to Weill than anyone has ever heard and a degree of identification with the material no one has matched since Lotte Lenya herself.” The New York Times Visit https://www.sdrep.org/show-detail.php?id=675
