Public Art and Public Memory:
Whose Stories, Whose Spaces?

April 1st 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Old South Meeting House, Boston, MA
Free and open to the public

How might creative acts of remembering and imagining in public help us reframe the past and present–and see more inclusive futures?

Join the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) and New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) for a conversation that explores the power of public art to catalyze critical dialogue around public memory, representation, and belonging, and to transform public life. You’ll hear from artists, curators, and organizers who use creative strategies to reframe public memory and imagine future possibilities for more inclusive, thriving spaces and communities. With: Boston-based artists Erin Genia and Stephen Hamilton, along with creative public space makers Kate Gilbert of Now and There Inc and Paul Farber of Monument Lab.

Okoŋwaŋžidaŋ
Solo Show at the Urbano Project
October 15 - December 21, 2019

Urbano Project - 29 Germania St. Jamaica Plain, MA

Okoŋwaŋžidaŋ means oneness, being of one mind in Dakota language. How can we create Okoŋwaŋžidaŋ as we seek to address the issues of climate change, mass ecological destruction and sociopolitical disparities?  As we operate within political and economic systems that divide us, people have forgotten that we are not separate from the earth – we are the earth. With this in mind, how can we respect the agency of the inherent life in everything around us?
