Students of Xav ier Adams’ language arts class will be paired up with elders they know: in their family and/or in their community. W ith the guidance of Jaki and Xav ier, students will discuss the role that elders play, how history has shaped their liv es, and the v aluable stories they possess that may hav e yet to be told. The students will learn how to interv iew the elders and write a compelling story. The workshop for this will take place in February 2023. I will meet with the students to hav e a dialog about the relationships we hav e with community members and why they are important. W e will discuss public art in its v arious forms and the role it plays in society. W e will pay close attention to the words chosen to be planted and talk about the process of v etting the words to be planted. An important word will be chosen by each student/elder pair from the story of each interv iew written. A recording will also be made from each interv iew. The chosen and approv ed words will be planted in highly v isible, well-trafficked and pre-determined, approv ed areas of downtown Hillsborough by the students, an assistant, and me in March 2023. The words will be v isible for up to three months, one of the first things that will sprout after winter, creating an element of surprise. The recorded stories will be uploaded to an app called “Echoes”. This app serv es as a “walkable city tour guide”. A person downloads the app to their smartphone and when they stand next to a word, they will be able to listen to the recording of the story v ia geolocation within the app. This will giv e the public an opportunity to learn more about the untold stories of local elders at their conv enience and promoted v ia the monthly artwalk. Additionally, the stories can be preserv ed by local historians, accessible to the public after the project ceases to exist. The project implementation is subject to receiv ing the full funding amount required from v arying sources. Community Impact Floraffiti is a placemaking and community engagement project. It combines community and youth dev elopment through v isual, literary, and performing arts in a distinctiv e way to present and digest information, responding to the local climate and embodying local stories. This year, Floraffiti will focus on Northern Orange County, an area of DocuSign Envelope ID: C41BE79B-8E81-4908-831C-FBA80D3E041A Orange County where opportunities like this are less concentrated than other areas of the county. Floraffiti will hav e a broad range of community impact, affecting great numbers of people who liv e and v isit the downtown area through the eye-catching exposure of the growing words. The words will be v isible for up to 3 months, prov iding an opportunity for all who liv e, work, and v isit in Hillsborough to generate a creativ e, memorable experience in their own way and pace. It prov ides an opportunity for intergenerational exchange and collaboration through interv iewing and writing workshops, learning how to document stories of the elders, the wisdom keepers of the community. This project has the prov en ability to bridge gaps in cultural fluency as defined by the ability to understand the basic norms and perspectiv es of people from other cultures, recognize the context and cues in how they communicate, and adapt and respond in ways that help achiev e shared meaning, no matter the age, socio economic, or cultural background. It is empowering for all who engage with it at its v arious points, building deeper community relationships More specifically, for the participants, digging in the dirt and planting their words deeply ingrains the metaphorical process in which they are taking part. It is the green plants, like that of their v oice, rising from a quiet place and brilliantly exposing to passerby’s the beauty and strength that exists within the power of story. Floraffiti fits in well with the Hillsborough’s Public Spaces Div ision’s mission: “Protecting and preserv ing Hillsborough’s small-town charm and community character is a top priority for the town. Hillsborough seeks to prov ide healthy public spaces that encourage relationships and showcase the natural and cultural resources of the town. The div ision uses placemaking strategies and sustainability principles to ensure a healthy env ironment while also prov iding inv iting spaces where citizens and v isitors can explore and congregate. Connectiv ity and accessibility are key goals. The div ision focuses on building accessible bicycle and pedestrian connections between neighborhoods and area destinations. Because beauty and function are integral parts of a well-built urban env ironment, the div ision looks for opportunities to integrate public art into the landscape.” The project bridges and deepens relationships among participants and audience members alike through creativ ely sharing stories that may be v oiced for the first time and sav ed from being lost in an unspoken history. DocuSign Envelope ID: C41BE79B-8E81-4908-831C-FBA80D3E041A Artist Experience Floraffiti has been implemented in v arious ways since 2012. The longev ity of this project speaks to its ongoing v alue and community impact as it continues to be requested in the Triangle area. I continue to get calls to this day from municipalities in the Triangle who want to know if it is coming back after this stretch of Cov id. From the public at large who walk along city streets, v isit the library, play at a park, or go to the local farmer's market, the words reach more than anyone will ev er know. The project has worked with youth at risk (Boomerang), adults with mental health issues (Art Therapy Institute of NC), a broad swath of community members as well as other entities noted below. W hen Floraffiti was implemented at the annual NC Botanical Sculpture Show with the teens of the Refugee Community Partnership, the depth of its impact precipitated a spontaneous award to be created on the spot of the night of the opening reception. The teens were beaming with pride and self worth from the v alidation of the local adult community; they felt seen, heard, and v alued. It has brought together and deepened relationships of members of the community that otherwise may not hav e crossed paths as exemplified on one of the v ideos in this application. I, and others who hav e shared with me, hav e receiv ed unsolicited stories of inspired hope, humor and a lov e of the place where they liv e and v isit. It has been named a “best thing to do on the weekend” with parents and their children. I hav e witnessed it inspire literacy and a well deserv ed pause in busy parent’s liv es as their children learn letters and words in a new and unexpected way. It has giv en community members an outlet to v oice their concerns, cares, hopes, and dreams. It has prov ided an outlet to talk about things that are hard to hear and feel v alidated as experienced at UNC’s Center for the Study of the American South. There is nothing more important and v ital than relationship. Discov ering ways to build and strengthen community nev er goes out of style and is needed now more than ev er; it’s a way of liv ing together healthily and well. Floraffiti succeeds at this. How do you plan to market your project? The project will be marketed on Floraffiti's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter sites along w/ local funding and collaborativ e partners respectiv e sites and digital calendars.
