Cleveland Documenters “Healing Spaces” Environmental Justice Interview Assignment, Phase 1
This is Phase 1 of Cleveland Documenters “Healing Spaces” environmental justice interview assignment. This assignment will be available for a limited time.
WHAT: On this assignment, Documenters will interview Cleveland residents about a space in the resident’s neighborhood that is healing for them. Documenters will also submit photos of their interview subject in their healing space.
This assignment is part of our “Healing Spaces” environmental justice project, led by a team of three Cleveland Documenters (Teela Patterson, Courtney Greene & Kevin Naughton), and funded by a grant from the Black Environmental Leaders (BEL) in partnership with The Center for Community Solutions, Cleveland Foundation and The George Gund Foundation.
THE GOAL is to produce and share profiles of Cleveland residents and their “healing space” on the web and social media, to tie into the work produced by the Healing Spaces team. The interviews and media Documenters submit may also be used directly in the work of the Healing Spaces team.
