Join us Thursday, July 2 at 12:30 pm as we take “N+T Asks” into Boston’s neighborhoods. In this session we ask “What does Roxbury need right now?” Executive Director Kate Gilbert will be joined by Anita Morson-Matra, of the Roxbury Cultural District and Roxbury-based artists Ifé Franklin and Chanel Thervil for an active dialogue investigating the legacy of the neighborhood, current community challenges, and ongoing systemic issues that affect Roxbury’s past, present, future. Join us to discuss possible ways to help support and promote community-led growth and explore opportunities for and examples of responsive creative expression.

Each "N+T Asks" conversation features a 30-minute conversation with a community leader and an artist followed by a 30-minute open discussion. Joining the conversation is free and open to all.
