Weaving The Streets

Series Overview

Edited by Cassandra Kunert

Weaving the Streets is a grassroots journalism project focusing on the diverse ways in which ordinary people around the world use public space to express themselves. Weavers are everywhere, and we are constantly documenting and reflecting on examples of street art and other traces of street-based actions, movements, and forms of expression that are often ignored by establishment media outlets. Weaving the Streets is part of a larger collaboration between Weave News and the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery that includes our sister project, the People's History Archive., as well as a new JSTOR collection called The Streets Are Talking. This work is currently supported by donations to the Weave News Contributors Fund and by generous funding from Patti McGill Peterson through the Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies at St. Lawrence University. Students accepted for participation in off-campus study programs have the opportunity to apply for the Patti McGill Peterson – Weaving the Streets/People’s History Archive Grant to support their participation in this project.
