Befriending neighbors through music
Do you know your neighbors? I certainly don’t! And that is sad, because I am pretty sure they all have fascinating stories to share…
A few weeks ago, a friend posted on Facebook a short message which lead me to the FotoWeekDC exhibition — a remarkable display of journalistic photography — which was followed by an equally fascinating presentation by PechaKucha presentation. Among the ten presenters two particularly intrigued me because of their attempt to build bridges among neighbors and enable community building on a very organic, local level. One of them, Spacious, particularly inspired me with its idea of inspiring and enabling unusual friendship, very much like the idea of the befriended stranger.
To make the long story short, I am going to try to invite my neighbors to the house concert of classical music which I will host on Friday. Let’s see what happens!
