🌊 Embark on a transformative journey at the Providence Public Library this Saturday! The "From Hold to Horizon Activation" is a unique event that promises to be a blend of art, history, and personal discovery.

📅 Set your sails for Saturday, May 4th, from 1pm to 3pm, and drop your anchor at the Providence Public Library, located at 150 Empire St, Providence, RI. Here, in the third-floor Joan T. Boghossian Gallery, you'll find an immersive experience that invites you to navigate through rituals of transformation.

🖋️ Guided by the talented Kei Soares Cobb and Becci Davis, attendees will be led on a journey of the horizon and journaling. This is more than just an exhibition; it's an interactive voyage that asks poignant questions about identity, location, and collective experience, all while drawing inspiration from the 19th-century whaling voyages of Captain William Martin.

🎨 Kei Soares Cobb, a multifaceted artist with a rich Cape Verdean-American heritage, and Becci Davis, an interdisciplinary artist deeply rooted in nature and history, will be your guides on this exploration.

📚 The event draws upon the rich narratives found within the Providence Public Library's Nicholson Whaling Collection, offering a space to locate oneself not just in history, but in the present moment.

🌟 Supported by the Langston Hughes Community Poetry Reading, Papitto Opportunity Connection, and Rhode Island Humanities, this activation is part of a larger conversation about Liberation and our relationship with the ocean.

Remember, to dive deep into the full experience, make sure to arrive before 3:15pm. To register for this event, or to find out more about the full list of activation dates, simply visit the Providence Public Library's event page. Don't miss the chance to set your own course from hold to horizon!
