“When we started this project almost six months ago, the world was in a different place,\u201d says\u00a0Ana Gonz\u00e1lez.\u00a0\u201cWe were hopeful that the pandemic would be over and done with by 2021 and we would be able to have an awesome in-person event with popcorn and hot chocolate, celebrating the streets of Olneyville\u00a0in\u00a0<\/em>the streets of Olneyville. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously, we were wrong. This pandemic has taken so much from us. So, Josh and I decided to change the direction of our event to help our communities begin to heal by remembering all that we’ve lost and celebrating all that we’ve gained.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Josh Short, Artistic Director of The Wilbury Group, adds \u201cThe very real and human impact that COVID-19 has had on our neighborhood this year is heartbreaking. As one of the neighborhoods hit hardest our friends and neighbors have seen their lives change drastically over the last 12 months. It\u2019s our hope that\u00a0Capture the Block\u00a0<\/em>provides a forum for remembrance and mourning through storytelling that both helps our community in its healing, while amplifying the Humanities\u2019 Council call for the urgent need for increased civic engagement from all of us.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
