The 'Collective Tales' event at Gallery Particulier engaged Brooklyn residents in sharing their personal histories and memories, centered on the theme of 'Because, Roots.' Attendees marked significant locations on a subway map, which served as prompts for storytelling. Co-director Justin Freeman emphasized the significance of finding one's home and belonging, while Comrade Cav reflected on the impact of the show 'Roots' on his childhood and community cohesion. The evening fostered a sense of connection among participants through shared experiences tied to culture and memory.
Tonight we're gonna be talking about roots. It's really important to be grounded with yourself, with your community, friends and family.
The moment in childhood, watching Roots with my family, felt monumental. It brought our whole neighborhood together and that bond was unique.
