Here’s what you can see if you visit in person:

Jessica Brooke Anderson will be offering visitors (one at a time) an opportunity to select a gift from her collection of family objects. She recently inherited 3 houses worth of heirlooms, and is using this opportunity to redistribute these items to the community. In exchange for "adopting" a piece of her family history, she is asking to photograph each object with its new owner, in hopes of creating a new family tree, made up of strangers, all interconnected through the lives and objects that came before. 

Dance Hub ATL will open their doors - live and virtually - to audiences with video screenings and live performances. It’s free to attend, but you can support the artists with donations made while registering for the event. For more details and updates, check their Instagram page @dance_hub_atl. Donations are greatly appreciated and will support artists' further process.
