The Poetry of Science project collaborates with scientists and poets of color to generate poetry inspired by scientists' work. Fine art portraits accompany the poems for public display, aiming to challenge systemic racism's negative connotations and establish positive connections between people of color, the arts, the sciences, nature perception, and knowledge creation, ultimately fostering new perspectives and resistance against oppressive systems. The installation was provided by the MGH Office of Equity and Community Health.
