An Evening of Adjectives

Thanks to all of you who came out to see us at the Hard Bean Cafe last night!

On the way back to Hard Bean after a sensory mapping walk

We did some sensory mapping with several community members, where they are led along on a walk with a blindfold and headphones. 

We also had some drawings done in response to specific prompts:
     * What are you hungry for?
     * Where do you feel safe in Bethlehem?
     * Where do you go to play in Bethlehem?
     * What will Bethlehem look like with a casino?

My favorite activity of the night was asking people “What adjectives would you use to describe Bethlehem?” The answers were remarkable, and all over the map.

Surly. Historic. Familiar. Comfortable. Sexy. 

I’m looking forward to seeing the Tag Cloud for this collection of words. Christian will take a look at how many of the same words were repeated by community members, and will create an image to reflect it (like this). Which word do you think will be the most frequently used?

Keep coming back to the website for updates from the Bethlehem Biopsy project, and find out where we’re going to be next!

Have a great weekend,
Kelly
