Your work here is important and inspiring. It reminds me of Linda Cristensen and the Oregon Writing project. Curious if she's someone who's inspired you?

About This Project

Youth on the Move: Re-Storying Urban Communities with Public Art and Digital Media

International School in Buffalo Public Schools, University at Buffalo, and Appalachian State University

Amplified by news and social media, stories of urban youth are often negative, portraying urban communities in decline. Contrary to this portrayal, youth are thriving in these communities and working through inequities and injustices that shape major cities in our country. This project sets out to support youth in the "re-storying" of their communities through public art installations and online media used to create youth-led guided tours of their urban communities.
