#BeReconciled - What's your Claim to Change? is a series of art and community engagement activities to encourage residents throughout Indianapolis to claim the change they wish to see in the world.
Participants are empowered to realize that life doesn't have to be as it is...it can be better through the pursuit of reconciliation.
The premier showcase of the #BeReconciled Puzzle Art Display took place in September 2015. Content included on the puzzles was developed in part during community dialogues throughout Indianapolis. The Puzzle Display (pictured below) includes three separate standing large puzzles, and each individual puzzle piece is available for sponsorship (see $30 sponsorship below).

This is the mobile art installation set up at the Monument Circle downtown Indianapolis, IN.
The art installation pictured above was initially funded by a Community Action Grant in Indianapolis called Focus2020. The purpose of the grant was to facilitate community dialogue and to create a more welcoming and reconciled community in Indianapolis. We learned that 'reconcilation' is an uncommon topic of conversation, so we're acting as the activists to change that through art and visual demonstrations.
Additionally, on Columbus Day 2015 (October 12th) the #BeReconciled project launched its first Wood-Walk.
