What does care look like in your community?
Join us for the launch on July 13 with live speakers, food trucks, and the Care is Essential march.
In partnership with Caring Across Generations, National Domestic Workers Alliance, Hand in Hand:The Domestic Employers Network and the Care Can’t Wait coalition, artist Paola Mendoza presents Communities of Care, an art installation of miniature homes representing symbolic communities of care squads around the country.
Running from July 13th-17th at the Freedom Plaza in Washington DC, this installation will transport you into the reality of care that takes place in our homes and communities.
This exhibit will be a physical manifestation of the care teams that are hard at work in our homes but also, the interconnected nature of our care via rows of homes.
Each home will have a QR code that you can scan to hear an audio note from the care team in that home.
