Lily Yeh: How Creativity Transforms Brokenness Into Beauty Join us for an inspiring evening with Lily Yeh, an artist whose work has taken her to communities throughout the world. As founder and executive director of The Village of Arts and Humanities in North Philadelphia from 1986 to 2004, she helped create a national model in creative place-making and community building through the arts. In 2003, Lily Yeh founded the non-profit organization Barefoot Artists Inc. Using the same concept and model used in Philadelphia, the Barefoot Artists work to train and empower local residents, organize communities, and take action to use the power of art to transform communities. Recently, Yeh has worked on projects in ten countries including Rwanda, Kenya, Ecuador, and China. Placemaking can play such a role in hard-hit neighborhoods, by putting the emphasis on improving the place itself rather than viewing it as a morass of dysfunctions, each of which is narrowly addressed in terms of specific issues or professional fields. Utilizing the principles of Placemaking, Yeh has launched far-reaching projects that evoke a new sense of possibility and purpose in neighborhoods worldwide. This presentation on Saturday will be followed by a workshop on Sunday, for which you can register separately. Lily's talk will be followed by Q&A and chance to connect with other attendees.

About Forge of Fury: Two centuries ago, the great dwarf smith Durgeddin the Black and his clan were driven from their home by a horde of fierce orcs and trolls. They plundered the dwarves' ancestral halls and slew all they could catch. Fleeing his enemies, Durgeddin led the destitute remnants of his clan in search of a new home. After years of wandering, the dwarves discovered a great cavern system beneath the Stone Tooth: a rugged, forested hill crowned by a bare rocky crag. There Durgeddin and his followers founded the stronghold of Khundrukar. About a century ago, a member of Durgeddin's clan was captured by a powerful orc tribe during a raid, and the orcs learned of their enemy's hidden stronghold. The orc chieftains raised a great army and marched on Khundrukar. In a hard-fought siege lasting months, the orcs tunneled around the dwarven defenses. When they finally stormed the place, they put all within to the sword, then carried off wagonloads of booty. In the years since the great battle, various creatures have occupied the stronghold and used the place as a base for their raids. At other times, the caverns have lain empty except for the mindless and bloodthirsty monsters that haunt such places. Today legends of Durgeddin's Vengeance (or the Smith's War) and the extraordinary blades the dwarves forged in anger still surface from time to time in the lands near the Stone Tooth. The characters come to the Stone Tooth in search of a reputed cache of Durgeddin's treasure and superior blades and find the stronghold inhabited by dangerous monsters.
