Hey New Haveners. This Thanksgiving season, I am feeling extra thankful to live in a community where musicians, dancers, vocalists, and fine artists all engage with the idea of change and forward progress, justice and protest in their work. As we think about how to be proactive, vigilant community members and keep hate out of our city, I want to just reflect on a few amazing art projects and performances that have enriched our little home, and will continue to do so in the years to come.
