Our Careful Tending
by Tiffany Narron
In the fall of 2022, Our Careful Tending was brought to life for Art in the Heart, a project to unite, heal, and strengthen the community. The goal of the project is to use art to spark conversation and ideas on how to re-envision Pack Square Plaza to include the full diversity of the city's people. Our Careful Tending is a poem written and shared as a poetic grief circle holding space for the grief and harm of the past while weaving collective hope and care for the present-day into the future as a community.
The Sky is Falling
Misti Galvan and Kathy Leiner
How do our stories of loss connect us under one sky to ignite hope? The Sky is Falling, is an interactive installation and movement piece that invites the audience to play with perspective. Join us as we make a collaborative sky and take space to contemplate, create, and connect.
