Join us.

in the fight against violence in Berkshire County.

I am an artist. I have known and loved people at the heart of violence.

I am doing the only thing I know how to attack this disease: using the arts to tell stories.

Chaos Theory aims to create and share stories that will bring Berkshire County together to engage in vital public dialogue around violence prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation—with the voices of those impacted leading the conversation. I hope that these stories will shift hearts and minds, cultivate compassion, challenge us to dismantle harmful stigmas, and remind us of the human beings at the heart of this disease.

I hope too that these projects will bring community members, law enforcement, schools, medical experts, and city stakeholders together to ask the difficult questions, listen to one another, and collaborate in finding new ways forward.

Violence is a heartbreaking disease that requires aggressive and intentional treatment. I hope you’ll join us in finding new ways forward.
