Addressing Racism Through Cross-Sector Collaboration: Art, Culture and Public Health

Watch the webinar featuring the Clemmons Family Farm's A Sense of Place ​and other great arts and culture projects!

The significant health costs of racism present critical opportunities for place-based arts and culture initiatives. By naming and acting to eliminate all forms of racism, such initiatives can help advance progress towards better health outcomes for communities of color.

Webinar speakers, in order of presentations:
​

Chera Reid
 serves as director of strategic learning, research and evaluation for The Kresge Foundation. She leads organization-wide work to grow the foundation’s learning endowment—drawing from the full suite of philanthropic tools, including evaluation and thought leadership—to advance the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. Chera has long focused on issues of access and equity in institutions and systems.

Elizabeth Hamby
 is an artist who serves as the Director of Take Care New York at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Take Care New York is the City’s roadmap to achieving health equity. Elizabeth develops and deploys strategies that range from storytelling to social epidemiology to advance racial justice and build community power.

Hannah L. Drake
 is a writer, spoken word artist-activist, and cultural strategist at Ideas xLab in Louisville, Kentucky. Her work focuses on the intersection of arts, culture, and health with an emphasis on the impact of race and injustice in underserved communities.

​Dr. Lydia Clemmons
, is President of the Clemmons Family Farm, an African-American-led arts and culture nonprofit organization in Vermont.  In 2012, Dr. Clemmons brought her 35-year career in international health and communications back to the Vermont farm where she grew up. She now serves as Executive Director of the A Sense of Place project- a creative placemaking project funded by Artplace America and led by the Clemmons Family Farm.
The Creating Healthy Communities: Arts + Public Health in America initiative recently released a white paper that presents a case for why cross-sector collaboration is critically needed to address the complex issues that limit health in the US.

The publication frames the value of arts and culture for advancing health and well-being in communities, and offers examples of impactful cross-sector collaborations that engage arts and culture to address five critical public health issues - collective trauma, racism, social isolation and exclusion, mental health, and chronic disease.


Our webinar on Racism (above) is Part 4 of a series presenting program examples that address each of these issues as well as new resources for cross-sector collaboration and program building. Learn more and watch the entire FREE 6-part webinar series here.
