The Potential [Realized]
The "Potential Project" is an experimental, collective multimedia project aimed at changing the conversations around violence, trauma, healing, and realizing our own potential. The Potential "Pop Out" Shops will culminate seven years of Bentrice's work on The Potential Project, which was launched with support from I Am Trenton and the Kresge Foundation, by hosting two pop-up experiences in an underutilized space in the Old Trenton Neighborhood. Each experience will feature a screening of a short documentary, interactive activities, a project store featuring products and merchandise supporting the project, and workshops that will engage guests to act on their potential.
El "Proyecto Potencial" (The Potential Project) es un proyecto multimedia colectivo experimental destinado a cambiar las conversaciones sobre la violencia, el trauma, la curación y la realización de nuestro propio potencial. The Potential "Pop Out" Shops culminará siete años de trabajo de Bentrice en El "Proyecto Potencial", que se lanzó con el apoyo de Yo Soy Trenton y la Fundación Kresge, al albergar dos experiencias emergentes en un espacio infrautilizado en Vecindario de Viejo Trenton. Cada experiencia contará con la proyección de un breve documental, actividades interactivas, una tienda del proyecto con productos y mercancías que respaldan el proyecto, y talleres que harán que los invitados aprovechen su potencial.
This project was made possible with funding from Isles, Inc., via the NJ Department of Community Affairs' Neighborhood Revitalization Tax Credit (NRTC) program.
