Communities Of Care
See stunning photos and audio interviews from the exhibit below.
An exhibition by Paola Mendoza
Presented by Care Can’t Wait, in partnership with Caring Across Generations, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Hand In Hand: The Domestic Employers Network.
We staged a stunning care exhibit in Freedom Plaza in D.C. from July 13 - July 17 to celebrate care and collectively vision what a caring future looks like. Now see the Portraits of Care and hear the audio from the exhibition below.
Care Can't Wait, in partnership with Caring Across Generations, NDWA, and Hand in Hand: The Domestic Employers Network, presents Communities of Care.
Created by artist Paola Mendoza, Communities of Care illuminates the essential caregiving that takes place in our homes and communities every day, honoring caregivers, the people they care for, and the work and dedication that holds these intergenerational relationships together.
The project urges us to inspire vision into action by making a historical investment in vital home and community-based supports and services for caregivers and families so that everyone can live, care, and age with dignity.
