NAIDOC: Aboriginal Art A Poster exhibit from the collection of Stephen Lewis Collector and labor activist Stephen Lewis. (Courtesy Photo) T he current exhibit in the MATV Gallery celebrates the artwork and explores the struggles of indigenous people in Australia through captivating posters. National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week is an annual celebration of the culture, history and achievements of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The first NAIDOC poster was created in 1972. Posters are a unique form of communication – they broadcast a call to action, using the written word to communicate an idea. Posters are a form of art that goes to the people rather than people having to go to a museum to see it. Stephen Lewis is a longtime activist in the labor movement and the former treasurer of his union. He has exhibited at a number of public libraries in Massachusetts, at the Boston and Malden City Halls, and at two of the state heritage parks. He has presented at the annual conference of the National Council on Public History and on some cable television programs. His posters/photos were contributed by friends, collected at conferences and visits to some of the organizations and obtained from connections made through the Internet. In total, his private collection contains more than 8,600 artworks.

Revere 781-629-3798 PARKING AMAZING WATER VIEWS W ith support from a $38,000 grant from the state’s Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (GZA), a leading multidisciplinary firm providing geotechnical, environmental, ecological, water and construction management services, has been selected to assist the City of Malden in developing a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Plan. The plan will address Malden’s resiliency to flooding, natural hazards and other impacts of climate change. GZA’s MVP-certified providers will facilitate and support Malden in completing the Community Resilience Building Workshop process to achieve MVP Community status in 2020. The MVP Community designation will make Malden eligible for MVP Action grants for climate adaptation projects, such as green infrastructure to improve Malden’s resiliency to local intense precipitation and flooding, or backup power for emergency shelters or lifeline facilities. “I strongly support our City’s commitment to making our community more resilient to the future impacts from climate change,” said Mayor Gary Christenson. “The MVP Plan and designation as an MVP Community is an important step in making Malden more resilient long into the future.” “GZA is honored to have been selected as the City of Malden’s partner in this critical work to strengthen Malden’s resiliency to major weather events and climate change,” said GZA MVP-certified provider Wayne Cobleigh. “GZA will draw on our deep experience working with other Massachusetts municipalities to collaborate with Malden and help all involved in the plan to identify and prioritize their community resiliency needs.” Malden is situated in the watersheds of the Mystic and Saugus Rivers as well as the floodplain of Town Line Brook along Malden’s border with Revere. Flood risks in Malden relate primarily to nor’easters and severe rainstorms, and increased frequency and intensity of precipitation and/or amount of storm water runoff due to climate change might cause more frequent flooding that overwhelms the capacity of natural or engineered drainage systems, causing overflows. With support from GZA, the Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA) and through Malden’s participation in MyRWA’s Resilient Mystic Collaborative, the City will focus on increasing social and physical resiliency to climate change through public outreach and engagement.
