Celebrating the New Corona Plaza!

On August 26, QMA led a community festival to celebrate the opening of the newly pedestrianized Corona Plaza.  A number of local organizations came together with an afternoon of music, dance, science, and civic action.

Here are some images from the event:

Making A New Model of Corona Plaza

Over the last few weeks, students have been developing an interactive model of Corona Plaza alongside Aurash and Quillian that we will be using to engage the community in workshops at Immigrant Movement International, and at the plaza itself.
