Yesterday I traveled up to West Palm Beach with my bro Reggie, to visit the juvenile detention center. My big bro E, is doing a beautiful project there with the youth. You can read the article VICE did here: http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/how-art-is-transforming-a-facility-for-miamis-at-risk-youth
He asked me to donate some photos to the center, and Im down 100. So I went there yesterday to just take a look at what he accomplished, and to find out where I can display my work. Im going to be displaying my work inside of a jail cell. Prior to that I shared my film with a group of boys in there, and they loved it. As the film was playing I was watching their reactions and they were so into it. After the film was over, we did a little Q&A, and I left some positive words for the youth. It was tough for me, Im not really use to speaking to groups of people, but it all worked out and I really enjoyed myself. Super thankful for the opportunity. I wouldn’t mind doing it more.. This upcoming Wednesday I’ll be traveling back to west palm to put my work up.
