The Senior Advisor for Community Safety is responsible for building a set of summer specific recommendations around the various aspects of community safety - namely engagement of community, along with efforts across the city prioritizing the intervention and prevention of violence. In 2022, Isaac Yablo engaged with communities across the city for the first-ever community focused Summer Safety Plan. In 2023, the Community Safety team hosted nearly 30 meetings in 9 neighborhoods to help prepare, preview and publish the plan. This spring, the Community Safety Team will host 10 meetings across the city to engage with residents and community organizations on what they’d like to see in this year’s Plan for a Safe, Healthy and Active Summer. If you have questions about these meetings or weren’t able to make it and would like notes, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Community Safety Team at 617-635-2802

CANCEL VIOLENCE: ARTISTS SPEAKS presents works by Hakim Raquib, Rob Stull, Johnetta Tinker, Laurence Pierce, Rob “PROBLAK” Gibbs, Shea Justice, Paul Goodnight and L’Merchie Frazier. Through their art, they explore causes of violence and possible correctives in an effort to guide communities toward social healing and restored human wholeness. Images from the exhibition intermixed with video clips of artist talking will be projected on the exterior facade of the museum at dusk thus providing one of the earliest grand scale, artistic screenings on a Roxbury building. It will be a must see.

PROJECTING PEACE is in collaboration with ILLUMINUS and FPoint Productions. It is composed of still and video images created by the visual artists cited above. Preceding the outdoor screening, CANCEL VIOLENCE: ARTISTS SPEAK PROJECTING PEACE will present Love, Queens Who Suffer From Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an original choreo-poem written and compiled by Jamila Batts Capitman and Heather Thomas. Directed by Capitman, Love, Queens was Inspired by Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Consider Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. It explores the impact of violence on communities through dramatic, poetic monologues. A discussion with the playwright and artists moderated by Chaplain Clementina Chéry of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute follows.

CANCEL VIOLENCE: ARTISTS SPEAK is on display Fridays-Sundays, 1 - 5 p.m., through April 27.
