Proud of this work we have been doing for about a year and a half in partnership with the Museum of International Folk Art (Santa Fe), Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center (Bernalillo County), Gordon Bernell Charter School, ¡YouthWorks! New Mexico (Santa Fe), Beyond Poetry LLC (Albuquerque) and the International Sites of Conscience (New York, New York). The 3-year initiative is called Brown v. Board of Education to Ferguson and focuses in using the arts to develop young people in to community discussion leaders on the school to prison cycle.

As a consultant and teaching artist on the project, I was asked to write a blog about our work over the past 18 months. Check it out here at the Museum of International Folk Art’s blog.
