Facilitated by artist Helanius J. Wilkins (Boulder, Colorado), this is part of an ongoing art and social justice-based work called "The Conversations Series: Stitching the Geopolitical Quilt to Re-Body Belonging." It is a multi-year, multi-outcome work that celebrates and confronts heritage, resiliency, justice, and hope. To learn more about this project, visit The Conversation Series website.

Part of a residency taking place May 13-18 at The National Center for Choreography at The University of Akron with a free, site-based performance at People’s Park on Saturday, May 18, 2024.

This Creative Residency and the development of "The Conversation Series: Stitching the Geopolitical Quilt to Re-Body Belonging" were made possible in part by The National Center for Choreography at The University of Akron (NCCAkron) and funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.

About the branch

Life-long enrichment characterizes the North Hill Branch Library experience. Opportunities for learning and entertainment for customers of all ages abound in the library's programming - from preschool story times to family movie and craft days, from book discussions to stitching and cooking, from computer classes to GED and yoga classes. A diverse collection of books, movies, and music for all tastes and interests are available for borrowing. The library provides access to computers, WiFi, copiers, scanning and faxing.

Working closely with local organizations serving refugees in their first phase of their resettlement in our city and those working with senior citizens in the neighborhood, North Hill Branch Library continues a strong tradition of serving both Akron's newest community members and those families who have made Akron their home for generations. There's something for everyone at the North Hill Branch Library.
