The art of community - A Q&A with filmmakers

ART OF COMMUNITY includes Lockshop, bookartbookshop, Where the Stone Dropped & Takeover. Here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we understand the hard work it takes to build a community. From Southie to the North Sea, here are four short films that explore the ways that gentrification and inevitable social change affect the places we live, and the places that make our neighborhoods home.
