Your Arlington Published: 15 June 2021 Written by ACAC newsletter Meet ACAC Artist-in-Residence Nilou Moochhala, at left, at her newly installed public art project in Menotomy Rocks Park on Thursday, June 17, 5 to 7 p.m., or Saturday and Sunday, June 19 and 20, from 10 a.m. to noon. The installation combines drawings Moochhala created during a daily meditative practice begun during lockdown with new work developed in response to interviews with diverse Arlingtonians: town leaders, front-line workers, medical professionals, local business owners, and inventors/entrepreneurs. The artist talked to the new parents of a "pandemic baby," middle school and college students, working parents, and retired seniors. Some of the stories she heard were heart-breaking. Others were inspiring accounts of public service, resourcefulness, and resiliency.
