Project Overview
This temporary public art project by Edica Pacha was featured at Downtown Boulder's [placeholder] Festival. The wheatpaste project aimed to gather and display thoughts from our community on Boulder Social Streets. This project was a large-scale, two-dimensional installation on the street, and was funded by the Experiments in Public Art program within the City of Boulder's Office of Arts + Culture. A question asked as part of this project is “What are your hopes and dreams for Boulder Social Streets?” The community could learn about others’ hopes and dreams and express theirs, and will see the feedback documented in a community “paste up” about social streets and shared with city staff and Boulder City Council to inform the design of a future, citywide social streets program.
“Community Art offers the opportunity to come together and use creativity as a means of collective vision,” said Pacha, the artist organizing the community “paste up” about Boulder Social Streets. “We use art as a pathway to develop conversations about important topics and work together to inspire impact within each other and the greater community.”
