The WaterFire Beacon of Hope is a dynamic art installation where a single brazier illuminates the Main Hall of the WaterFire Arts Center representing a beacon of hope looking forward to the time when we can all gather together again in the heart of our capital. Once again we will experience WaterFire with our city filled with vibrant joy and discovery and our exhibitions and events again enlivening the WaterFire Arts Center. The WaterFire Beacon of Hope is a LIVE 24/7 dynamic art installation created by the WaterFire Providence team under the artistic direction of founder, executive artistic director and coCEO, Barnaby Evans. Due to Stay at Home Orders, the WaterFire Beacon of Hope can currently only be experienced over the Internet at https://waterfire.org/waterfire-beacon-of-hope/. The WaterFire Beacon of Hope presents a solitary illuminated WaterFire brazier in the Main Hall of the WaterFire Arts Center surrounded by a field of luminaria, each memorializing a Rhode Island soul lost to COVID-19. The installation, which also includes a field of stars overhead and WaterFire soundtrack, can be experienced 24 hours a day and cast to viewer’s TVs.

Location Where was this item created? Providence, RI Language What language is it in? English Description What is it about? Before Covid19 we had at least one grandson every day after school pick up. They would stay, we would do homework, play and eat supper. We would drive them home after wash up, bath or shower ( depending on child and night). We call it “stay late night”. We miss it soo much. We now walk to one of their houses and stand outside on the lawn, their mom opens the window and we talk. We drive to our daughter’s house and we sit on the lawn there and the 3 boys sit in the open window. In both cases we all hug ourselves and send them as 6 ft. hugs to each other. I am 73 and my husband is 77 and since the dads are out “in public” we haven’t been closer than 6 ft. Our older son , who is single, comes on Sunday and sits at a table on the porch. We put snacks out and we sit at the open window and we enjoy each other’s company. I actually started writing this at the beginning of the month but added or changed it as I watched the Governor’s press conferences on tv.

Luckily I chose a vital profession for my life’s work because I can keep working during any shutdowns, albeit from my desk overlooking the Providence River when there schools are locked down. My teaching position at Paul Cuffee Upper School, a maritime-themed charter school in Providence, also affords me many other benefits. I get to work with focused teenagers from different and challenging backgrounds in a small school (less than 300 students in grades 9-12). My commute when school is physically in session is essentially a ride from Pawtuxet Village through Roger Williams Park to Elmwood Avenue. The size of Paul Cuffee Upper School allows the staff to get to know every child and not let anyone fall through the cracks. Such circumstances have probably contributed to the school being ranked for two years in a row by US News and World Report as the number one charter school in Rhode Island, the top high school in Providence along with Classical High School, and one of the top 20 schools in Rhode Island. The ranking is based on the pass-rate for Advanced Placement exams, graduation rate, proportion of under-served population, and the like. This ranking is particularly striking since the under-served student population equates to 93% minority (mostly Latino) and 73% economically disadvantaged. Furthermore, the Latino population in Providence has disproportionately suffered the most dire consequences regarding the Covid 19 onslaught. So, the view from this old union teacher’s desk is never dull and I am lucky to be in the position I am. Finally, check out the namesake of the school, Paul Cuffee. He was quite a man, and his wife and family were trailblazers along with him. Location Where was this item created? Home office overlooking the Providence River Language What language is it in?
