“Lead with Love, Err on the Side of Kindness”: Art as a Lifeline with Traci Molloy

Classroom Narratives: Healing in Education by Joseph Weisler

Episode notes

✏️ Episodic Synopsis

Brooklyn-based artist and educator Traci Molloy has spent over two decades creating collaborative art projects with youth impacted by trauma—from 9/11 to poverty, gun violence, and systemic injustice. In this deeply moving conversation, Traci reflects on her years as artist-in-residence at America’s Camp, her school-based healing initiatives post-COVID, and why collective artmaking is a sacred act of both mourning and joy. Through her mantra—“If you’re complacent, you’re complicit”—Traci reminds us that art is not a bonus in education; it’s essential.
