See You in the Future is a storytelling project that lifts up the communities of the "Mass. and Cass" intersection in Boston, MA.
Like any community, this intersection is a place with culture, history, and a vital social infrastructure.
But in recent years, this place and its people have been made into a public symbol of crisis — a hopeless problem to be solved or swept away. This builds on centuries of stigma and policies against homelessness and poverty, drug use and addiction, and harm reduction.
We rarely hear its story as told by its own community members.
We are working with community members and organizations to tell a more nuanced and macro story of this intersection—based on reality as people live and have lived it, and history as we remember it.
Our team has worked in Mass/Cass, peer support, and community design for years.
We are excited to share updates as we go. Stay tuned for more!
