The Space Within<\/a>\u201d in Woodruff Park, will soon have a new home.<\/p>\nThe Grief House, a nonprofit that organizes experiences and gatherings for the grieving, has been looking for a new and lasting home for the phone, which offers Atlantans a unique and symbolic way to \u201ccall\u201d loved ones they have lost.<\/p>\n
The Grief House is now working with the Historic Oakland Foundation to relocate the display to Oakland Cemetery.<\/p>\n
\u201cOakland Cemetery is already holding space for those looking to reflect and connect \u2013 both about and with our ancestors as well as our Atlanta community, Sascha Demerjian, executive director and co-founder of the Grief House, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoving the Atlanta Wind Phone to Oakland Cemetery will allow more grievers to engage with this powerful installation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Grief House says the cemetery is already a place where Atlantans come to reflect, remember, and connect, and adding the Atlanta Wind Phone will offer a dedicated space for grief, remembrance, and healing rooted in both place and purpose.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Atlanta Wind Phone is a natural fit for Oakland because this space reminds us every day that memory, loss, and legacy are part of our shared story,\u201d said Dr. Richard Harker, president and CEO of Historic Oakland Foundation.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy partnering with the Grief House to give the community a quiet, accessible place to speak their grief, we deepen Oakland\u2019s role as a place of memory, connection, and healing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The plan is to have the Atlanta Wind Phone moved to the Oakland Cemetery by spring where it will be maintained by the Historic Oakland Foundation.<\/p>\n
It will be available to the public at no cost from dawn to dusk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtesy The Grief House The Atlanta Wind Phone, currently part of the public-art project \u201cThe Space Within\u201d in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[57466,57467,17854,143,22443,145,144],"class_list":["post-106462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-atlanta-wind-phone","tag-grief-house","tag-historic-oakland-foundation","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-cemetery","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
