Second Community Dialogue with Chat Travieso: Shaping New Brunswick’s Monument
Join coLAB Arts, New Brunswick Tomorrow, Unity Square, and Caritas of Holy Family Parish for the second community dialogue focused on the creation of a new monument in New Brunswick dedicated to the lived experiences of migration and labor.
Meet Chat Travieso, the monument artist, and share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences to help shape the monument’s development and design.
This event is a unique opportunity to:
Engage directly with the artist about the monument’s vision.
Contribute to the conversation and design process.
Connect with community members around shared experiences of migration and labor.
Over the past several months, monument artist Chat Travieso has been listening to community stakeholders’ stories, insights, and hopes for a monument to migration and labor in Central Jersey. Drawing from these workshops and conversations, he has been developing a concept proposal. Join us for a public workshop where you can learn about the initial idea, share feedback, and help shape the next stage of this community-driven monument. Your voice is essential as we continue imagining this project together.
St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, 293 Somerset Street, New Brunswick, NJ, 08901
Make-up date and time, in the case of poor weather: January 13, 4-7PM.
