Weeks of Reflection
We are providing elective opportunities for our scholars and staff to grieve, reflect on, and honor those who have been lost.For each opportunity, we are exploring different themes connected to specific weeks. However, we encourage you to participate in any of the themes that speak to you at any time. The themes are:
- Week 1: Visual Arts
- Week 2: Media & Photography
- Week 3: Written Reflection
- Week 4: Acts of Service
How to Participate in Week 2 – Media and Photography
We encourage you to reflect on old photos, videos, and other media, or create new works.
How to Participate in Week 1 – Visual Arts
Using the Tile Design Template, you can sketch your tile; then, you will have the opportunity to replicate your design onto a tile. If you wish, you may contribute your tile to a community mosaic for our Celebration of Life currently planned for December.Tiles and supplies will be available for all staff and scholars at the following locations:
- Staff and Scholars: All Zone Program sites
- Administrative Teams: 35 E. 125th St. (6th floor reception desk)
- Administrative Teams: 245 W. 129th St. (lobby)
Completed tiles should be returned to your program site or to reception desks at 35 E. 125th St. 6th Fl. or 245 W. 129th St. lobby. If you have questions regarding tiles or would like to request additional tiles, please email Monaisha Williams at mwilliams@hcz.org.
