These two will be the objective of the extension of my Flex Residency at the Hyde park Art Center. Pure Mc/Mc. Rhyhtmism has rootz! They were very connected from 3rd Grade until 6th grade.  Separated due to one' whose family abruptly moved outta the neighborhood because his family members were major gang leaders. Poof! Gone away.  Not even a goodbye.  

But one was already given the secret code.  One so secret neither knew.  This is the stuff of childhood magic. That was 1963.  Just before the start of this residency they reconnected.  One, a musician / performer/composer, and spitirualist.  The other, a visual artist, educator, therapist, designer, producer and both publishers.The code key was stated.  The Lost forgotten secret creative core was ignited.   

 

Now that I have completed the goals of the primary residency term, now awarded a two moth extension, I get to look into that core.

This will be a few days of art appreciation and project planning.

To this I offer this quote:

“The number one predictor of your success in today’s borderless world is not your IQ, not your resume (CV), and not even your expertise,” writes social scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural Intelligence Difference. “It’s your CQ.”

According to the latest findings, a high CQ could be crucial in a wide range of careers, from bankers to soldiers and scientists and teachers – anyone, in fact, who regularly interacts with people from different backgrounds.
