A Public Art Movement: Explore the Be The Change Exhibition in The Fenway
Another season of “Be the Change,” a public art installation designed by Jewish Arts Collaborative (JArts), is underway in The Fenway.
Be the Change is an art and activism initiative, rooted in the Jewish tenet of justice and drawing from the ritualistic Jewish Tzedakah box. This year’s exhibition features six thought-provoking pieces that touch on various themes, including overconsumption, grief, visibility, capitalism, the mental health crisis, and social justice. For us, this is an incredible opportunity to hold space within our neighborhood to talk about injustice, and to amplify the messages of each artist below.
Meet the Artists
Be the Change is more than a passive art-viewing experience. As you explore, you’ll find a QR code accompanying each piece, providing direct links to nonprofit organizations, activists, and resources related to the highlighted social justice issues. This interactive aspect transforms visitors into “artivists,” empowering them to take action and contribute to positive change.
Now through October 24th, Be The Change is on view in The Fenway, located at 92 Van Ness St.
