Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Rondo Family Reunion is a photo and poetry art installation exploring past and present black life in the historic Rondo Neighborhood. Using the stories and images of Rondo residents and the neighborhood's diaspora, we will share interactive place making and displays, create a keepsake book of poetry and photography, and present a capstone performance of the work. Measuring Project Success: If we see that people from ôfamilyö come to participate, we will know that they care too. If we can get 50 people who live in the community and 25 who used to live in the community to participate we can tell that we have struck a chord. We will really know we have made a difference if we run out of lawn signs, meaning enough homes, businesses and organizations have agreed to display the photos and poems for the whole collection of broadsides to be displayed. We intend to create and have designed a book with poetry the captures the essence of historic and emerging Rondo and photographs that illuminate the texture of the people and places that give it meaning.
