Holding Space: Creating Belonging in Rochester is a public gathering that invites our community to reflect on the lasting impacts of everyday racism, ableism, and sexism, especially when these harms go unacknowledged. Featuring media from the VSW archives, testimonials, and an interactive conversation with Eaton and several community members, this event invites us to unpack what it means to “hold space” for one another and discuss how creating a culture of belonging can be a healing, disruptive, and liberatory act. This event is FREE and open to the public. Register here
The evening will feature:
Archival media from the VSW collection that grounds our dialogue in a broader history of storytelling and resistance.
Testimonials that center on lived experience.
An interactive conversation facilitated by me alongside community members, designed to help us unpack what it means to “hold space” for one another and how creating a culture of belonging can be both healing and liberatory.
Date: Thursday, October 9, 2025
Location: Visual Studies Workshop, 36 King Street, Rochester, NY 14608
VSW program funders include The New York State Council on the Arts with support from the New York State Legislature, The Joy of Giving Something Foundation, and Monroe County, NY.
