The “Harlem is … Healing” exhibition is the latest project of the longstanding collaboration between Community Works and the New Heritage Theatre Group exploring the multi-faceted history of Harlem and the communities of color which surround it.
Like messengers, too, the mere presence of the tall, sleek metal and glass structures silently indicates they have important information to convey.
The entire “Harlem is … Healing” exhibit is actually much larger—telling the stories of another forty-one individuals who are part of the community’s “culture of healing.” All of it can be seen now on the “Harlem is … Healing” website at www.harlem-is.org/harlem-heroesv That installation is expected to open to the public later this year—fulfilling, said Sylvia L. White, the hospital’s deputy executive director, their commitment to further spread “the healing power of art.”
In other words, in this moment when Harlem is facing a multi-dimensional crisis—medical, environmental, financial, economic, political and spiritual—the “Harlem is … Healing” exhibit reminds us that, as it always has, Harlem contains a dense network of individuals and institutions who are challenging the dynamics of its being besieged. They are working to change the status of the present from a “crisis” to an “opportunity.

Voluntary exposure of children to COVID-19: high risks, no gain - New York Amsterdam NewsDr. Traci Conti told the AmNews that “there is no guarantee that if you expose somebody to COVID that they’re going to live through that exposure and so any time somebody’s exposed to COVID unvaccinated [it] increases the risk of death and while we know that children aren’t dying in as frequent numbers as our adult population there is still death in children from COVID, so why would we risk an illness that could cause somebody to die when there’s a vaccine that can specifically prevent serious illness and death.”
