Voting Access for All Coalition (VAAC), in partnership with Indivisible Metro Detroit, is continuing a series of community pop-ups to build a collaborative Voting Rights Art Installation in May.
This project creates space for voice, expression, and reflection on what voting means in our lives.
At a time when voting rights are being challenged and new barriers are being proposed, these gatherings invite people to reflect on questions like:
- What does voting mean to me
- Why does my vote matter
- What does it look like to protect our right to vote
Not everything can be captured in words. For many, experiences, memories, and perspectives connected to voting are better expressed through creative work.
At each pop-up, community members create individual pieces that reflect their own stories, perspectives, and beliefs about voting and democracy. Each piece becomes part of a larger installation that brings together many voices into a collective expression of voting rights, access, barriers, and community power.
Each contribution will be a 5 by 7 piece, using writing, drawing, or mixed media. No art experience is needed, and people are welcome to create on their own or with others.
Join us at the next pop-ups:
Tuesday, May 19 | 5:00 to 7:30 PM
Sherwood Forest Branch Library
7117 W Seven Mile Rd, Detroit
Thursday, May 28 | 5:00 to 7:30 PM
Jim’s Corner
22757 Woodward Ave Ste 100, Ferndale
Stop by, create, and add your voice.
These gatherings create space for reflection, connection, and expression, bringing together individual experiences into a shared statement about voting and civic participation.
More dates and locations will be announced as the installation continues to grow.
