Village Building Convergence 8: All Access no Housing

Bossanova
Portland, OR

The Village Building Convergence is a statement of our combined dedication to create the world in which we want to be living. VBC is a cyclical, seasonal, celebration, a reclaimed holiday of community action. At its root, VBC is about actively building our community, and realizing the strength and beauty of our power when we work and play together. By building a physical and social village infrastructure we are realizing our common visions for a lively and sustainable urban community.

The Village Building Convergence 2008 (VBC8) is a 10-day event from Friday, May 23rd Sunday, June 1, 2008 in which neighborhoods activate to build shared public places that they have envisioned, designed, funded, and will maintain for themselves. VBC8 will include hands-on education in permaculture design and construction, ecological building, and public art. All projects are built through collaboration, community conversations and commitment of a neighborhood to strengthen itself. Everyone is invited to attend evening events at a central location, to participate in workshops or listen to visionaries speak about various aspects of sustainable culture.

VBC will feature projects located in or adjacent to the public right of way and private projects that support community in various neighborhoods. Private site projects will be structures or systems that are built by and available to the communities concerned with that site, and hopefully available to some extent to the larger community. These will include public squares and meeting houses, community kiosks and benches, solar-powered and artistic innovations, and many other new ideas.

Note: This is an all ages event. There are 10, 5 and one day tickets available which includes: ALL evening meals, speakers series and entertainment, full access to all VBC sites & workshops, transportation, and much more.
