**GIA READER** Creative Placemaking in Transition Part 1 & 2 "Our goal is to inform practitioners and funders of the changing nature of creative placemaking and the continued importance of work in community-based, justice-informed, artist-centered, equitable community development, even as the field is realigning and changing," said Johanna K. Taylor and Andrew Zitcer in part 1 of Creative Placemaking in Transition now available on the GIA Reader. "We aim to lift up the voices of people across the field, those who have done and continue to do work loosely affiliated with what can be considered creative placemaking, during the years when ArtPlace, the NEA, and the Kresge Foundation (among others) were active in shaping this policy area."

Media & Business Communications II Statistician - Rural & Microeconomics II Disability Rights and promotion of inclusive workspaces
2024, we aspire to travel and trek more intensively, widen our community outreach and contribute as well as strengthen public discourse. All our work is drawn from a sense of belonging and purpose, peace, empathy and love we receive from our deep community bonding. This year, together with grassroots interventions and community stakeholders, local civic and professional leadership, we would diversify our work, integrate digital platforms effectively, focus on economics of scale, setting up of more independent rural enterprises and would advocate on direct access to information, markets and resources, and most importantly direct representation by people across all platforms. We shared the premise of our work and the reason behind community-led interventions - how these help discover and uplift individual voices. By the way of sharing many experiences working in communities, we expressed how a human condition varies with demographics, how important it is to look at a human situation, factoring other basic and necessary life dimensions as well. And, how with a stable source of family income, impact of vulnerability is reduced. Therefore, a social cause is better defined through public discourse, involving broader citizenry.
