WYE What We Carry Questionnaire

What We Carry: A Community Art Exhibition & Dialogue Questionnaire

Thank you for experiencing What We Carry.

Presented by What’s Your Elephant™, What We Carry brings together 35 artists and multiple perspectives exploring what we inherit, what sustains us, what we survive, and what we are learning to carry differently.

Through visual art, storytelling, interactive reflection, movement, rhythm, and community dialogue, the exhibition creates space to engage memory, identity, grief, care, belonging, ancestry, resistance, healing, joy, and transformation.

Your feedback helps us understand the impact of this work, strengthen future programs, and share why community-centered arts experiences matter.
