More DescriptionBerkshire Mosaic: A Multicultural BRIDGE Living History Project is a powerful space for our contributing writers, our interviewees, and our community to share real stories, i.e. our living history, to catalyze being seen, heard and understood. A gentle, inviting, celebratory yet powerful form of social justice.These stories have been retold for us by our team, Kate Abbott, Elizabeth Blackshine, Siobhan Connally, Nik Davies, Kuukua Dzigbordi Yomekpe, JV Hampton-VanSant, Roberta McCulloch Dews, Emma Sanger Johnson and Margot Welch. These stories afforded time and space to each individual to tell their own story--to shine their own light. To journey, to heal and to grow together through storytelling.These are deeply touching stories of individuals and of families, stories that create the mosaic of the Berkshire Hills and also reflect the mosaic of our country. In this anthology by Gwendolyn VanSant, a multiculturalist mindset allows for each culture to share its values, maintain its language and traditions as we all learn from one another. Listening to another's unique story connects us to our shared human experience, our humanity. "We are mosaics. Pieces of light, love, history, stars... Glued together with magic and music and words." (Anita Krizzan) In all of our fragmented pieces, some fuller than others, some shiny, some dulled over time, we make up an intricate piece of artwork. We each are part of a larger whole. This is what the Berkshire Mosaic helps us remember.
