Community Engagement

Joseph Claunch is the executive director of the Zuni Youth Enrichment Project (ZYEP) in Zuni, New Mexico. Founded in 2008, ZYEP’s mission is to ensure the healthy development of Zuni children through summer camps, sports leagues, after-school opportunities, and garden-based education, all of which are grounded in Zuni traditions. For this session, Claunch will be presenting on Ho’n A:wan Community Park, in conversation with lead artist Daryl Shack, and the important role that community artists and culture bearers played in the design of the park to create the best possible space for the Zuni community.
