Whitehaven Heritage Center

The center developed the Whitehaven Heritage Center, a public arts venue that preserved the neighborhood’s history through oral histories, exhibits, and digitized media. The project amplified community narratives and fostered intergenerational conversations. It enriched the identity of Whitehaven by reclaiming and celebrating its past. Residents found renewed connection through shared stories and cultural events.
