IMAGINATION TEAM
A group of local artists led by Erika Roberts have engaged the community through historic research, oral history collection and artistic interpretation of community landmarks and events. A summary of the engagements from the planning process are linked at the bottom of this page. In late 2021 the Imagination Team debuted a collaborative video piece to commemorate the process and neighborhood history - view ‘Voices of the Life Book’ below.
