FEBRUARY
Good Fences Make Good Neighbors
What would you build if walls weren’t meant to divide?
In February 2025, Mending Walls will host an exhibit inspired by a quote from the poem Mending Wall by Robert Frost, “Good fences make good neighbors.” Against the backdrop of political walls and social divides, we invite YOU to flip the script and help us build a new wall of voices, hopes, and ideas that challenge division and inspire conversations that can change everything.
What if a wall wasn’t about division but about connection and change?
