Throughout 2022, artists Ursula Rucker, Gaia, Anthony Molden, Curve, and Ryan Strand Greenberg gathered with neighbors, friends, and strangers in Kensington's parks, libraries, community centers, and schools along Indiana Avenue. In these spaces, people shared, taught, and listened to stories, ideas, solutions, and dreams. We listened to music, ate food, made poetry, and created art that speaks to our mutually respected experiences along Indiana Avenue.

this is a HOPE Poem...(have you ever heard of ONE?) culminated in the form of a multi-wall poem mural - (4) murals spanning 16 blocks of Indiana Avenue made wholly from community stories, images, words, and songs, composed by Ursula Ruckers and visualized by Gaia, Curve, and Anthony Molden and brought to life by community connectors and neighbors along Indiana Avenue, who shared their beautiful hearts and important stories full of light and life.
