Sheila Pree Bright will lecture about the evolutions of the Young Americans series on the David T. Howard School by using the urban landscapes to connect with communities. This is a kick-off for Bright's 1960 Who street exhibition, which launches in October during the celebration of the Atlanta Student Movement exhibition at the Robert W. Woodruff Atlanta Library; Atlanta University Center and part of Elevate 2013, a public art experience produced by the City of Atlanta, Office of Cultural Affairs. This new series and campaign is inspired by the civil rights movement and activists such as, Lonnie King and Herman Russell, who are alumni of the Howard School and will appear in the street art project. Bright states, "The goal of the series is to show youth that all people faced bullies and overcame struggles. The intent of the street art campaign is to unite generations and inspire communities to create positive solutions for social change." (Full Press Release) |
