Common Ground: Imagining Together
West End Arts District and Alameda Point Collaborative come together to present Common Ground, a two-part series of stories, ideas, and civic conversation exploring community, belonging, resilience, and creative possibility. Both evenings are free and open to all.
Through inspiring films, visionary case studies, and thoughtful public dialogue, Common Ground invites audiences to reflect on some of the urgent questions shaping our community: How do we bridge cultural and religious divides? How do we build resilient cities and communities? And how can art, dialogue, and collective imagination inspire meaningful civic action?

Film Synopsis:
In Omaha, Nebraska, a mosque, synagogue, church, and interfaith center are built side-by-side. Connected by a circular wooden bridge, an organic donation garden, and a quietly disruptive vision, can this new model of coexistence in the American Midwest bridge the rising currents of division?
Post screening discussion led by Jeff Raz, Citizen Joy.
