Poet and Rapper Commissions

What's Been Forgotten: A Resurfacing

Through community visioning sessions (April to July, 2023) Boston residents were surveyed on their priorities around the CJAP and their needs, concerns, and desires about how Northeastern University can better support local communities. 

As part of our Art as Strategy approach, 1SW commissioned poets, musicians, visual artists, and animators to respond to community priorities that surfaced in the community visioning sessions. Artists responded to community feedback with creations in their selected medium and style, to help illustrate these community ideas for the CJAP. 

Poets commissioned:

Nnenna Loveth + Charlotte Abotsi + Hakim Sutherland + King K.O. + Tarik Bartel
