CVOEO and Vermont Folklife Launch Traveling Exhibit - In our words, in our community 05/13/2023

From CVOEO and Vermont Folklife:

"In Our Words, In Our Community" is a collaborative public arts and humanities exhibit created by Vermont Folklife and photographer Macaulay Lerman, in partnership with the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, that amplifies the voices of our neighbors experiencing the complex dynamics of homelessness, food insecurity, and economic challenges. This exhibit is guided by direct input from a group of Vermonters and the social service workers who aim to address their daily needs.

"In Our Words, In Our Community" opens a window into the wide range of lived experiences in our region. Vermont has the second-highest per capita rate of people experiencing homelessness in the United States. This statistic reflects a painful and difficult fact–as Vermonters we all face economic injustice because we are one community. None of us succeed until we all succeed. Through "In Our Words, In Our Community" we work to challenge well-worn narratives about poverty, and to foster a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of those who are often overlooked.
