City resident Lourdes Monzon organizes these gatherings, called Prophets, Poets, and Parks. She intentionally rotates the events around the city, picking abandoned and underutilized areas of parks. Her purpose is to create safe spaces that highlight the importance of words, narratives, and poetry. The Richfield Area Resident Engagement (RARE) was a placemaking initiative that utilized participatory art as a tool to strengthen communal relationships during the redevelopment of an abandoned gardening store.
