As ArtBridges’ Community-Engaged Arts Directory grows, we realize that it’s a bit overwhelming to read through all of the profiles. We’re hoping that by occasionally highlighting some profiles on our blog, you may learn about an initiative that you may not have initially seen in the directory. Also, if you know of a Canadian community-engaged arts for social change initiative that isn’t in our directory, but should be, please let us know! We love and need your input/feedback in building this resource! -Lisa, Content Coordinator at Artbridges.

“Heroes of 107th” is a multidisciplinary community-based project between Kristina de Guzman, KazMega, Baat Cheet, Action for Healthy Communities, Edmonton Immigrant Services Association and other community agencies. The project, supported by Edmonton Heritage Council’s Edmonton City as Museums Project (ECAMP), aims to preserve the history & share the realities of Edmonton’s 107th Avenue (aka Avenue of Nations) through storytelling, photographs, and video.
