Bryn Battani - Quarantalk Poem and Brief Reflection
Bryn Battani and Clara Posner
Bryn described the following poem as being "inspired by all of the quirks and frustrations I've been running into during my many conversations over the phone as well as the language/phrases that are unique to this method of communication that we're all finding ourselves using so often lately". In addition, she shared her experience this term by describing "how sad it has been to take events off of my calendar. I'm a person who loves lists, so the act of deleting something makes it feel real in a strange way. Also, over spring break, I gave my bedroom a mid-century makeover in an attempt to make this isolating environment a little more aesthetically pleasing. I hated the way my room looked for a long time, but I never felt motivated to do anything about it and put all my energy into designing my dorm room instead, since I figured I wouldn't be here much... but now, I am!"

Carleton Ceramics’ 16th annual Empty Bowls event to be held virtually
Carleton College
A news story on Carleton Now about the upcoming Virtual Empty Bowls event.
Text: "Carleton Ceramics will be hosting its 16th annual Empty Bowls community meal virtually on Friday, May 15. The event, traditionally held on campus, raises awareness around hunger issues and funds for the Northfield Community Action Center (CAC) food shelf by selling student-made ceramic bowls. Since its inception in 2005 at Carleton, the project has raised over $91,000 for the CAC food shelf.
What started as an initiative to build a connection between art and the local community has become an annual tradition students, staff, faculty, and community members look forward to each year. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic and a shelter-in-place order, that community gathering is not possible, therefore, Empty Bowls will be going virtual for 2020. All Carleton and community members are invited to participate in this year’s virtual event.
On Friday, May 15, participants are invited share a photo of themselves with their previously purchased Empty Bowl (or any bowl) and post it to their Instagram tagging @carletonceramics, or on Facebook tagging CCCE.
Participants are also encouraged to consider making a donation to the CAC food shelf, or any local organization with a mission to fight hunger, through May 16 in honor of this virtual event. Donations can be made through Venmo @CarletonEmptyBowls, online, or by texting “EmptyBowls” to 44321.
About Empty Bowls
Originally founded in 1990 by Michigan high school teachers Lisa Blackburn and John Hartom to give high school students a chance to impact the local community, the Empty Bowls project has become a prominent national and international movement with local potters, churches, artist organizations and schools.
This event is co-sponsored by Carleton’s CCCE and Carleton’s Department of Art and Art History." -
