Preserving Rondo As a Black Cultural Destination

Rondo Community Land Trust will formally weave the arts into cultural preservation. This project includes: 1) Populate a community archive by hosting scanning days for photos & objects. 2) Locate where historic murals were, who painted them, what stories they told & recreate aspects of them. 3) Map historical markers across historic Rondo, prioritizing Selby & engage artists to develop creative alternatives to standard plaques. From here, incorporate narration from community elders telling stories for a self-guided walking tour of Rondo. 4) Curate 2-3 rotating art exhibits at Golden Thyme focused on Rondo past and present. 5) Complete 3 murals depicting historic Ronda's cultural heritage. 6) Host 3 community events that showcase different arts forms (film, poetry, music, etc.)
