During a 5-week summer residency at Wave Pool Gallery in the Camp Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati in 2023, Justin Maxon completed the second volume of Field Guide to a Crisis. Justin collaborated with local artist Allonte Hart, organizer Loretta Davis, and Wave Pool’s Welcome Project Manager Olivia Nava. They worked with three halfway houses in Camp Washington and engaged members of the Welcome Project community. Each participant identified a survival tip they had learned through personal experience that helped them overcome adversity and then developed the language to teach it. Afterward, participants paired up for a “tip exchange” activity to foster the spirit of mutual aid. This process encouraged participants to share their tips and mentor each other, creating a reciprocal exchange of resources for mutual benefit.
FGC is a growing body of knowledge rooted in the lived experiences of individuals who have navigated crises and isolation, emphasizing the practical skills they developed through these experiences. Since its inception, FGC has completed several iterations, engaging with participants in various locations across the U.S. and producing numerous public events.
