Memory-Mapping ATL
Drawing Cultural Connections Across Time

Share your photo stories HERE:
Memory-Mapping ATL invites you to share your photos and memories by placing them on a 3D map of metro Atlanta. Facilitated by interactive media designer Kennedy Arnette, we’ll provide printing and storytelling tools to help you place yourself in the story of this ever-changing city. This event begins with a panel discussion of Atlanta based artists and cultural workers, sharing the different ways we can memorialize our relationship to a place while continuing to shape it through communal archiving.

Crown Connections: A Braiding Workshop Inspired by "This Crown Belongs to US"
Facilitated by Courtney Brooks

"Crown Connections" is more than just a braiding workshop; it's a celebration of self-identity, cultural pride, and the powerful connection forged through the shared experience of Black hair. It's an opportunity to honor the moments we learned to adorn our hair in every texture, color, and style, and to recognize the inherent beauty and regality of our crowns.
