The Sculpture Center, with Slavic Village Development, Burton, Bell, Carr Inc. and the Elizabeth Baptist Church, will lead a panel discussion dismantling the political, social, and economic barriers behind “resurrecting” the Sidaway Bridge.
The wooden footbridge, which once served as a connection between the residents of Kinsman and Slavic Village, was burned during the Hough Riots in 1966, literally destroying the juncture between the two neighborhoods.
This conversation will address how the Bridge, in a current state of neglect, can once again connect communities. This talk will be led by Chris Alvarado of Slavic Village Development, Bianca Butts of Burton, Bell, Carr Inc., Crossroads artist Shani Richards, and Pastor Gibson of Elizabeth Baptist Church.
Resurrecting the Sidaway Bridge is free to attend! Registration is required (see the link below to our official website).
