The Western Massachusetts Health Equity Network Presents: Mosaic: Film, Conversation and Community

Thursday, May 5th at 6pm

FREE, Registration Required

The Western Massachusetts Health Equity Network in conjunction with Multicultural BRIDGE presents an evening of cultural exploration, performance, and intergenerational conversation centered on the screening of the new Western MA film, Mosaic, a film that the Network commissioned to highlight the transformational work of local leaders of color and other voices from the Connecticut River Valley to the Berkshires. A regional group of young and old helped create the content and guide the process of the film’s focus on the intersection of racism and health.

• What would a world without racism look like? 
  
• What would it be like if quality healthcare were accessible to all?  
  
• How can we embrace and support wellbeing in all its manifestations?  
  
• What could healthy communities look like…and accomplish? 

Join as these questions and more are explored in an open, supportive, creative environment.
4-6 PM at Giggle Park behind Town Hall across from Mahaiwe Theatre – join in the CARE GB project where we offer materials for self-guided tours of the Town Parks and Du Bois landmarks. 

5 PM Resource Fair in Mahaiwe Theatre Lobby. CHP joins us with public health messages. Greylock joins us with their Impact Report on Community Development. Join BRIDGE as we celebrate Cinco De Mayo with cultural songs, cuisine and dance.
