In 2016 the Wormfarm Institute brought Muneer Buhauddeen, BFA, from Milwaukee to Reedsburg to lead residents in a free workshop to create tiles for peace posts. Peace posts can be found throughout the world and carry significant meaning for the communities in which they are placed. What makes these four posts special is that Muneer worked directly with community members to bring forth their vision, guided their tile creation, and eventually set the tiles into the native-to-Wisconsin Black Locust posts.
The Reedsburg Revitalization Organization (RRO) applied for and was the recipient of a matching grant from the Sauk County UW Extension Arts & Culture Committee to help pay for the creation of the posts. The Wormfarm Institute oversaw the installation and was greatly assisted by the City of Reedsburg Recreation and Parks Department, Matt Scott, and City Staff.
There will be a dedication and ribbon cutting at City Park starting at 5 PM on Saturday, July 29, 2017. See you all there!
