The Trust Project weaves together reflections on community
life in Kensington and Harrowgate. A crowd-sourced poem captures
memories, observations, and thoughts on what makes these neighborhoods
special. Lifted into the sky, the poem casts colorful shadows on the
ground below, while encouraging Harrowgate Park visitors to look up and
out from their immediate surroundings.
The Trust Project was guided by the need to acknowledge the
challenges faced and strengths demonstrated by Kensington and Harrowgate
communities. Despite difficult conversations about public space,
belonging and care that have put some residents at odds with one
another, a sense of mutual support prevails between neighbors.

In Spring 2021 the Community Advisory Board co-designed events and activations around the Trust Project. Advisory gatherings allowed for continued reflection on the meaning of trust between community members, and the role of public art in these neighborhoods. These meetings also led to the creation of a series of Little Libraries stewarded by community members across Kensington.
