We are back again with the Unity Project. This interactive public art project is in response to the divisiveness and negative rhetoric in the world today. This project was created to raise consciousness about the labels we give ourselves and others and explore how those labels both support and limit building interconnected, interesting communities. UNITY is a larger-than-life structure that helps us celebrate our uniqueness and strengthens our ties to each other.

The project consists of 32 posts, each with identifiers such as, "I'm a parent; I speak English as a second language; I identify as LGBTQ+," etc. Participants tie colorful yard to posts that reflect their identities. Their yarn intertwines with others' to create a web of interconnectedness. In the end, we see that we are all connected by something, and it's our diversity that builds a strong and vibrant community.
