CircuStations Urban Circulatory Art Healing System: Enhancing Mobile Belonging and Mental Health for Youth and Elders across Cambridge and Boston

Led by: Kris Manjapra

CircuStations builds on a partnership with Cambridge Arts and a network of cultural organizations to establish an urban circulatory art healing system that utilizes storytelling, embodied art-making, and intergenerational exchange to restore a sense of mobile belonging and the ability to ‘feel right’ in oneself and in community, even amid social change. This program will be headquartered at Black History in Action for Cambridge at St. Augustine’s Church and is supported by a National Endowment for the Arts Our Town grant. Further, CircuStations aligns with Massachusetts’ CultureRx initiative, which treats the arts as a prescription for health and resilience.
