Reimagining Community Healing Through Lessons Learned

#creativeactionkc Healing Through Lessons Learned

This collaborative storytelling project, was produced over the course of 2021 and early 2022 and provided a platform for people to share the lessons they learned during the pandemic and their hopes for healing. The result is a collection of stories that explores personal experiences and reveals shared lessons.


#creativeactionkc

The result the group’s community conversations in 2020 was a community-wide art initiative engaging themes of voting, civic engagement, and democracy. During the height of the pandemic, community members made artwork exploring these themes, sharing it with each other virtually using #creativeactionkc and came together to work on a collective outdoor art project on the museum grounds.
