Title
Who We Are Now
Description
This is Who We Are Now, a temporary public art installation that monumentalizes our beautiful, complex, and multi-layered Rhode Island identities, though the eyes of emerging Rhode Island artists. With this work, produced in collaboration with the City of Providence Department of Art, Culture + Tourism and on display through November 2023, Rhode Islanders are invited to reflect on who we are as a community of beings, how we live and work and play with each other inside the boundaries of our small state, and how we regard the people with whom we share a world. Through public art installation, programming, and celebration, we invite you to reach across differences, to seek connection with your neighbors, and to consider one another anew.
