Teen Art Project: Fragments

Jun 14 - Jun 16

Free

Fragments: What Connects Us to a Sense of Place? is open to high-school students only (including rising freshmen).
In this summer arts and leadership program, over 20 high school students will work to create a site-specific installation in a downtown public space to engage the community during the high tourist season.
This opportunity will connect youth voices to their community by addressing the question: What connects us to a sense of place?
Throughout this design process, teens will explore memory, identity, and place when developing the concept for their large-scale photographs that will be attached to a downtown site using wheat-paste. The installation will be interactive with the community and is intended to be naturally biodegradable.
It’s taught by resident artist Janaína Vieira Marques.
