🥳 We’re still thinking about the energy in the room at the realtalk@Boston release party! On 11/10, Bostonians gathered at Artists for Humanity to hear and see ttories moving through the space via live music, poetry, visual installations, and moments of quiet listening.
👏 Huge thanks to our 11 community partners, the artists who brought these stories to life, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for making this work possible.
🎉 Excited to share our new paper which was accepted to #AAAI2026!
