The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
The creation of short-term interactive public art pieces focusing on cultural stories that are not only visual in nature but auditory and tactile as well in order to have them accessible to all with preference given to marginalized artists.
Who it helps and why
By focusing on works that promote cultural stories in marginal communities this allows many people to be heard who typically feel that their identities are a footnote in the city of Boston. In addition, by mandating the works are more than just visually accessible allows for greater community engagement.
