The Trust Project





AboutThe Trust Project weaves together reflections on community life in Kensington and Harrowgate. A crowd-sourced poem captures memories, observations, and thoughts on what makes these neighborhoods special. Lifted into the sky, the poem casts colorful shadows on the ground below, while encouraging Harrowgate Park visitors to look up and out from their immediate surroundings.

Overview
The Trust Project was guided by the need to acknowledge the challenges faced and strength demonstrated by Kensington and Harrowgate communities. Despite difficult conversations about public space, belonging and care that have put some residents at odds with one another, a sense of mutual support prevails between neighbors.

A Community Advisory Board co-designed events and activations around the project through the spring of 2021. Advisory gatherings allow for continued reflection on the meaning of trust between community members, and the role of public art in these neighborhoods.

This project was funded by the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services (DBHIDS) as a part of the Kensington Wellness Initiative, funded by the Hummingbird Foundation.
