Freedom

 



 




It was beautiful to see 1985poet's "I Wish for Freedom" art project take root in the community. 

An alchemy of the heart. 

Monique Lorden and I collaborated with a team of activists to create a space for her art on The Greenway. 
Community gardens bloomed in time with a custom made shotgun mobile library.
We curated an event for the children during the difficult pandemic year, 
and a local news station shared the story.

Thank you to a network of community partners who activated her visionary project:
