Project Start Date <br />(no earlier than July <br />1, 2020) <br />March 12, 2021 <br />Project End Date (no <br />later than June 30, <br />2021) <br />March 12, 2021 <br />Project/Program <br />Summary <br />sladesign Fashion Show 2020 ROOTS will take place outdoors <br />(pending approv al from TOC) on a strip of Old Pittsboro Road. This is <br />one of the few wooded areas left in downtown Carrboro. I currently <br />liv e in the neighborhood. In 2007, I had my first sladesign Fashion <br />Show at 116 Old Pittsboro Road and since then I hav e had 13 more <br />shows. The show is titled ROOTS because of it's location and <br />because of how I feel about Carrboro-Chapel Hill. Although I was born <br />in California, my Mother is Colombian and I'v e mov ed throughout the <br />years, we first mov ed to Chapel Hill in 1982 and since then it's been <br />my home base. My paternal grandparents liv ed on Cobb Terrace in <br />1928-29 while attending UNC. Grandpa studied and Grandma spent <br />her time performing as an actress for Paul Greene. The show will be <br />filmed to document another sladesign Fashion Show but also to <br />document the location before it gets dev eloped. It will be shared for <br />FREE on the world wide web and social media. I hav e submitted an <br />application for Community Ev ent with the Town of Carrboro in order <br />to use that strip of the road. The actual ev ent will take place during <br />the 2nd Friday Art W alk March 12 from 6-9pm with set up and clean- <br />up time included. I am already working on the project through these <br />applications and designing & sewing, planning production of the <br />show and recruiting models. W e need cultural ev ents. <br />Community Impact sladesign Fashion Shows are always FREE ev ents. There will be ~25 <br />seats lining one side of the road for people to sit and enjoy the show. <br />The seats will be 10 feet apart, ev en if we go back to "normal" social <br />habits. This ev ent has been designed so it can take place ev en if <br />there is no attendance. If we go back phases and the seats are empty <br />the show will hav e more of an impact and a stronger statement. I will <br />be inv iting the neighbors and hope to hav e 50% black and brown <br />attendance from the trailer park at the end of the road. I hope to <br />recruit 10 models and my goal is again to hav e 50% black or brown <br />models participating. ...and then as the film will be shared on the <br />world wide web.. . the world will be seeing this cultural ev ent. There <br />will be liv e music TBA. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: C38401A5-3980-4EF5-8219-B779A73D52FA
