CITY OF NEWARK NEWS JUNE 22, 2020 MAYOR BARAKA ANNOUNCES CREATIVE CATALYST FUND GRANTEES
“Radical Rejuvenation/ Gather in the Company of trees”
We look forward to creating sustainable, eco-art “events” in the storm of the Covid-19 pandemic. Community engagement and celebration with trees/gardens/natural habitats, support “Communal grieving... something…we cannot do by ourselves...where healing is deeply and profoundly freeing.”
This project,to be done in partnership with local growers and residents, is a first-step measure that creates a restorative forum that honors collective loss, and “mediating tools” that affirm a more sustainable future.
