"Crafting Sanctuaries: Black Spaces of the Great Depression South" is a powerful new exhibition that reimagines our understanding of the Great Depression by showcasing the vibrant, resilient lives of Black Southerners. This collection reveals intimate spaces of comfort and community, highlighting humble dwellings and public gathering places that were transformed into havens of expression and identity. We provide financial support for costs associated with the presentation of the exhibition, and we encourage borrowing institutions to apply for supplemental Learning & Engagement funding to further enrich the experience with impactful programming and community engagement.

Back when I (Sam) was running the Armed Services Arts Partnership (ASAP), I never knew how to talk about Memorial Day. Should I be solemn and reflective to honor the dead, or celebratory to honor the fact we’re still alive? In reality, there was no right answer. Memorial Day Weekend can be a time of solemn remembrance for some, a time to celebrate the unofficial start of summer for others, or a time of solemn remembrance and summer celebration for others still. For this week’s newsletter, we fall squarely in that last camp. We start by sharing a moving reflection on Memorial Day, and then explore three features on the intersection of summer, community, and connection: - Memorial Day: What do we owe those who have perished in our generation’s mismanaged wars? - Summer Violence Interruption: How can communities create social outlets to prevent spikes in violence during the summer months? - Neighborhood Heat Islands: Why are some neighborhoods up to 20 degrees hotter during the summer compared to others just blocks away? - American Exchange Project: Is a summertime domestic exchange program for high school students the key to facilitating connection across geographic difference? This was admittedly a broad theme, so we’re curious: when you think of summer and community, what comes to mind? Feel free to respond with links in the comments or email us: theconnectivetissue@gmail.com. https://lnkd.in/gvFwd8ju
