​The term ​​ parley  derives from the French verb  parler: to speak.  Historically, a parley was a meeting between adversaries in order to negotiate an end to battle. To signal a willingness to talk peaceably, armies would run up a white flag. 
In a parley, people of vastly different opinions and experiences make themselves vulnerable by holding conflicting truths together.
​

Creating is a solitary act, and isolation can make art rigid. By committing to an ongoing process of writing, feedback, and production, we surrender the lone struggle and move forward in collaboration.
