Becoming

By Kristen Brown

Over the past 2 years, teaching artist, Kristen Brown, has explored the concept of identity with elementary and middle school students in our Jr. Viewfinders after school program. Through guided projects, the youth created soapboxes, poetry, and photographic collages as an expression of who they are and the leaders they want to be. 

To honor the work of the youth and the community in which they live, we are now working to install several of these works as large-scale, exterior murals throughout the neighborhood. This summer (2017), we will have an activation celebration of the work!
