Details:
After months of deep listening, storytelling, and collaboration, the vision is becoming real.
Join us for the official unveiling of En Root: A Monument to Migration and Labor—an inspiring new public work by artist Chat Travieso that was shaped by the voices and experiences of project participants from New Brunswick and the broader Central Jersey community.
This monument celebrates the labor, and cultural impact of immigrants across the region. What began as a series of community conversations has now taken form as a lasting tribute—rooted in shared histories and collective imagination. You showed the way in selecting the location, and in identifying the importance of creating an inviting, beautiful environment that welcomes another migrant: monarch butterflies. You painted and planted the monument, and it is now ready!
The event will feature live dance and musical performances and art activities for the whole family, with food available to purchase from amazing local vendors.
War Memorial Park: French St &, Jersey Ave, New Brunswick, NJ 08901
Time: 5:30 arrival, formal program to begin at 6pm. Rain or shine – there will be tents.
