Survivor Theater Project
Grant Award: $4,500.00
Isolation, silence, and shame are some of the most devastating effects of sexual violence, regardless of race, culture, gender, class. Trauma numbs us to our truth. For years HTCA workshops have shed light on the tenderness, courage, expressiveness, and creative wells that lie beneath survivors' wounds once they break silence in a safe, encouraging community. Thanks to funded projects the last 2 years, HTCA workshops now provide even stronger BIPOC and LGBTQ+ leadership and facilitators from these communities, thus uplifting artistic survivor voices from communities that have also been historically silenced and isolated. The community, as a whole, stands only to gain from the power of these voices that bring depth and life wisdom to all.

Matt York
Grant Award: $450.00
Songs and Stories - Johnny Cash is a musical presentation in which I perform songs and tell stories about the country music icon Johnny Cash. This is a free performance that would be open to the public. I also think it’s a subject that would be of interest to a wide swath of the town’s residents. The performance I do combines some of Cash’s most famous songs with some stories about his career and how he not only changed the course of popular music but did so in a very dynamic and powerful way. There are also many videos and info at www.mattyorksongsandstories.com. The country musician Marty Stuart once said, "there are two kinds of people, those that love Johnny Cash's music and those that will". I agree. This video will give you a good sense of what I do.

Amber Bemak

The film follows my uncle Peter Valentine’s unusual journey, weaving around the extraordinary events surrounding Peter, MIT, and his house. Long ago diagnosed as schizophrenic but choosing to live his life unmedicated, Peter lived independently, riding the edge between mental illness and magic. In the early 1990’s, Peter was renting an apartment in a three-story house, living on disability payments. When MIT wanted to demolish his neighborhood to build University Park, Peter refused to move, insisting that he could not leave his apartment because it was his laboratory for research. After years, MIT physically moved his house to another street in Cambridge and sold the house to him for a dollar. A familiar story of gentrification with an unexpected ending, the film also looks at the stigma of mental illness, disrupting and questioning normative narratives around this topic.

Zhonghe (Elena) Li
Grant Award: $4,500
Rivers have played crucial roles in civilizations and were considered sacred by our ancestors in most cultures. In ancient Chinese mythology, dragons are thought to inhabit major rivers. Dragons symbolize water, weather and the power of the Tao (Nature). Properly respected, a dragon has the power to bring rain, harvest, and prosperity, while when humans fail to respect nature, dragons can bring destruction, such as droughts and floods. The lower Charles (Quinobequin) River is in the shape of a dragon and next year is the year of the dragon. In 2024 I will work with Mass Audubon to develop themes on "River, Dragon and Climate Resilience" and bring interactive, multimedia workshops and participatory storytelling to Cambridge communities, especially under-served children & youth. Will improving on the visual installation with sound recorded from Charles River and multi-media stories.
