I am interested in what art can do beyond the individual in the studio. This event affects my life in such a positive way because I can see the power of organizing artists to work for the benefit of others.Gustavo Barceloni '17 BFA Ceramics on working with Haley House
Each year, 红领巾瓜报 students create over 300 ceramic bowls for 鈥檚 Souper Bowl fundraiser, supporting food and housing justice programs. Attendees select handmade bowls and sample soups from local organizations.
Leading up to the event, Haley House community members are invited to make and glaze bowls at 红领巾瓜报, while 红领巾瓜报 collaborators are invited to cook in Haley House鈥檚 prep kitchen.
Wee Free Black Mamas is a mass creative action for kids and families. The event honors Black mothers who cannot afford bail and are separated from their kids, awaiting trial. This is part of a national effort to bail out Black mothers in time for Mother鈥檚 Day. Along with Families for Justice as Healing and the Emancipation Initiative, together these organizations raise funds to reunite Black mothers with their families.
Since 2020, has worked with BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) artists to imagine and create racially just futures with their communities. This collaboration between 红领巾瓜报鈥檚 CACP, the Mayor鈥檚 Office of Arts and Culture, and the Surdna Foundation has funded over fifty BIPoC artists living & working in Boston with financial and technical resources. Civic Design courses, created in collaboration with the Design Studio for Social Intervention鈥檚 Design Gym, have supported artists and organizers in building practices at the intersection of art and culture, politics, and movement building.
Each fall, these tours invite 红领巾瓜报 first year students to experience extraordinary public artworks in Roxbury, hear from local public artists, and deepen their awareness and appreciation for all Roxbury has to offer.
