The Zip Code Memory Project seeks participants!
Do you live and/or work in Washington Heights, East Harlem, Central/West Harlem, or the South Bronx?
Want to participate in a creative project to explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on you and your community?

Let’s mourn our losses, envision new futures, and re-imagine our neighborhoods through paths of hope.

Join us as we:

Walk through our streets together to remember our loved ones as we tell stories about them.
Use and take photos to create stories, memorial stamps, postcards, and scrapbooks to share with others.
Engage in acting exercises to help us build trust and community.

This collaborative art-based project is envisioned to help us heal from the devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic, and its unequal effects on our communities. Through workshops and public events we will acknowledge the trauma, grief, and loss of the pandemic while celebrating and, we hope, energizing the spaces we live in.

We are seeking to bring together collaborative groups representing the diversity of our community with regard to age, race/ethnicity, citizenship status, physical ability, educational level, language, and types of
work.

The Zip Code Memory Project is sponsored by Columbia University and the Henry Luce Foundation in collaboration with a number of local community, education, and arts organizations.* There is no cost to participants. All will receive a signed certificate from the Zip Code Memory Project and its affiliated institutions upon completion.

Open to Community Members who:

Live and/or work in Washington Heights; East Harlem, Central/West Harlem, or the South Bronx:
Are at least 18yrs old or older to participate
Are willing and able to participate in four weekends of afternoon workshops over a 9-month period Oct-June, 2021-2022
