A Little about The Corner at Whitman-Walker The Corner at Whitman-Walker connects cultures and communities through programming of exhibitions, events, educational initiatives and artistic research, in order to increase access to art and to other cultural knowledge production. The Corner generates content around health and social justice concerns from an intersectional LGBTQ perspective by focusing on local and global contemporary art. We activate the creative potential of each and every person and gather a public that will help shape a hopeful vision of the future. The Corner envisions itself as a communal garden in which a diversity of species grow, nurturing body and soul, a space for experiment, a classroom, a tool box, a venue for (re)presentation. A Little about Get Home Safe: “Get Home Safe” is a platform that creates mental health content. We bring the therapist to the function. Our three goals are to Expose, Enlighten and Elevate. Expose, black therapists only make up 5% of the licensed mental health community. Due to that shortage there is a lack of representation. So twice a month we throw events featuring one black therapist so folks can shop for their therapist. Enlighten, though our social presence on instagram and youtube. We speak on mental health, community facts and how to normalize mental health awareness & how it is treated. The purpose of the "Treat YourSelf" event is to give away 100 free meals. Combine the mental health community with the wellness community. Lastly, to give the community an example of wellness and mental health in one space for a moment. If we give them examples of what they need then one day they may create space for themselves.
