120 Project gleans its name from the national holidays declared by newly inaugurated presidents in 2009 and 2017. President Obama declared January 20th, 2009 a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation. President Trump declared January 20th, 2017 a National Day of Patriotic Devotion “in order to strengthen our bonds to each other and to our country.” 120 Project aims to do exactly that: reconcile our differences and strengthen our bonds through arts activism, dialogue, and community creations. Distinctly non-partisan, 120 Project ventures to create a space where all are heard, all can listen, and we can make something together.
