Compelled to counter the the divisiveness, negativity and bigotry of our country’s national political conversation, Nancy Belmont, creator of the Courage Wall, launches a new public interactive art project on DATE HERE
UNITY is circular arrangement of 32 poles in a large field. Each pole is labeled with an identifier. For example, “I’m a parent,” “I speak English as a Second Language,” “I identify as LGBTQ.” With yarn, participants tie to each pole with which they identify. A canopy of interconnectedness forms as more people participate. In the end, we see that we are all connected by something. This project celebrates the uniqueness of individuals and raises awareness of how labels impact our perception of and interactions with the world.
