THE UNITY PROJECT

Mobile United, the Downtown Mobile Alliance, and the City of Mobile Parks and Recreation Department are partnering to bring the UNITY Project to life in Mobile. Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Isom Clemons Civil Rights Park in Mobile.

What is the Unity Project?

UNITY is a circular arrangement of 32 poles in a large outdoor area. Each pole is labeled with an identifier: for example, “I’m a parent,” “I speak English as a Second Language,” “I identify as LGBTQ,” “I am…” With yarn, participants tie to each pole with which they identify and a canopy of interconnectedness forms as more people participate. A grant from the Thompson Foundation and the Downtown Mobile Alliance have made the creation of the art structure possible.
