The ā€œPoetics of Relationalityā€ workshops @s_frzr led came at the perfect time as my writing takes on Black solidarity with Black matters (oil, coal, ore). Hanging with @joshuanguyen03 after a decade(!!) was such a gift and a treat! & we got to see sooo many whales šŸ‹ So thankful to all yā€™all in my workshop, and the other dedicated artists I got to meet šŸ’™ Got a blessed week with my beloveds at @prospectstreetwritershouse, @chrysanthemvm_ @charlotteabotsi @muggsfogarty šŸ’ž We wrote, shared, edited, curated, rested, walked, a true dream.

Some pictures of the Providence Commemoration Lab limited edition publication that I got to art direct last year! The book was designed to document a year long public art program run by the City, housing 9 resident artists/artist groups and 3 writers to produce new public art interventions at three sites across Providence. The book consisted of a main publication, accompanied by the writers' chapbooks, a set of artist postcards, and an ecosystem map. . This book was produced as part of a larger comms strategy led by myself and Chhavi Jain @avid_wanderer for the lab, managed by @studio.loba_. The project involved conducting studio visits and interviews with the artists, writers and many other members of the lab, all of which eventually made it into this book. Its eclectic, exploding form was meant to reflect the varied, eclectic nature of the output that emerged from the lab and its many participants. Many collaborators were part of the bookmaking -- see all credits in the complete book film posted on my reels! . PCL @pvdcommemorationlab was a program run by City of Providence Department of Art Culture Tourism @providenceact, and the Rhode Island Historical Society @rhodeislandhistory, funded by the Mellon Foundation @mellonfoundation and American Rescue Plan. There are far too many people who were involved in the making of this book ā€” watch the film to see the full list of credits! . This is a limited edition book, copies of which are available in a handful of local libraries and institutions across Providence. Comment to find out where you can find a copy to read! . Print production by @puritancapital šŸ’œ . #limitededitionbooks #bookdesign #publicart #providenceri

Dear community and supporters, We write to you with abundant gratitude and to update you on our progress. In August, we came to you with a rallying call to ask what support you could offer as we aimed to bridge a $68,750 funding gap. We are elated to share that we are still here thanks to every donation of funds, time, and talent that you contributed to allow Split This Rock to keep doing our necessary work. The outpouring of support we have received from you all has buoyed us and expanded our imagination of whatā€™s possible at Split This Rock. We are now 85% of the way to our fundraising goal! We will continue our fundraising efforts with the hopes of raising the remaining 15% of our goalā€”thatā€™s just over $10,000ā€”by the end of the summer. Can we count on you to help us meet our goal? Thanks to you, we were able to raise $20,478 from donations, merchandise sales, and ticket sales. This was only possible because: ā€“Almost 500 of you answered our call with a monetary donation ranging from $5 to $1,000, or became a monthly donor; ā€“Over 40 of you filled out our Community Outreach Form with offers of support; ā€“27 generous poets volunteered their time and talents to participate in readings, facilitate workshops, and feature at our DC fundraising party; and ā€“Over 300 community members attended workshops, readings, and our DC fundraising party. We offer a special shout out to poets who have generously brainstormed with us or donated their time and labor towards our virtual and in-person fundraising events so far: Kay Ulanday Barrett, Hanif Abdurraqib, Clint Smith, Ra Avis, Khadijah Queen, Kyla-YeĢ‚Ģn HuyĢ€nh Giffin, Jorrell Watkins, Ana Portnoy Brimmer, Gabriel Ramirez, Arianna Monet, Ina CarinĢƒo, MT Vallarta, Amir McClam, Tala Khanmalek, Joselia Hughes, Ezra Fox, Jimena Lucero, Zuggie Tate, Cai Sherley, Golden, Chrysanthemum, Sami Miranda, John Chambers, Sagirah Shahid, Aliah Lavonne Jahan-Tigh, Isa Borgeson, Lehua M. Taitano, Noah Arhm Choi, NoŹ»u Revilla, and S. J. Ghaus. [Continued in comments] A series of 7 graphics with Split This Rockā€™s red logo and text that reads ā€œFUNDRAISING UPDATEā€ at the top. Each graphic has text from a letter to the community with expressions of gratitude and updates on Split This Rockā€™s fundraising progress since August 2025. The letter text is included in the caption and comments. The last graphic includes collaged images of Split This Rockā€™s Staff and Board members.
