N+T Asks: What does "care" mean right now?

There’s no sugar coating it — this physical distancing thing is hard — it has us seeking fresh ways to connect with, comfort, and care for our community of artists, cultural practitioners, and public art champions. But what exactly is care in the time of COVID?

We were glad to have special guests artist Stephen Hamilton (2018 Public Art Accelerator and creator of The Founders Project) and Tiffany Cogell, a driven advocate and community organizer (and one of the powerful women featured in Elisa Hamilton’s 2017 project Slideshow) join us for our second installment of N+T Asks and share with us their thoughts, questions, and strategies for self-care, community care, and caring for the public good. Big thanks too for the many friends and community members to added to this dynamic discussion of different ways artists and cultural organizations are responding and can respond to the collective and public feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, and grief we are experiencing at this time of crisis. 

N+T Asks is supported by the generous contributions of individuals and foundations who sustain our work of building a public art city including The Boston Foundation and NEFA’s Fund For the Arts.
