Mobile United, the Downtown Mobile Alliance, and the City of Mobile Parks and Recreation Department are partnering to bring the UNITY Project to life in Mobile.
The UNITY Project is an interactive public art project that celebrates what makes individuals in our community unique and how our uniqueness creates our community as a whole.
UNITY is a circular arrangement of 32 poles in a large outdoor area. Each pole is labeled with an identifier: for example, “I’m a parent,” “I speak English as a Second Language,” “I identify as LGBTQ,” “I am…” With yarn, participants tie to each pole with which they identify and a canopy of interconnectedness forms as more people participate. A grant from the Thompson Foundation and the Downtown Mobile Alliance have made the creation of the art structure possible. For a better understanding of it, I encourage you to watch this very brief video HERE.
