2014 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Genesis believes that for social shifts to thrive, we must create a home to hold space for our nuanced identities. Genesis plans to express these identities in an installation entitled Una Casita Luna (The Little Moon House). Una Casita Luna will follow the tradition of early Puerto Rican immigrants of Manhattan’s Lower East Side who created them to cope with displacement.  With the help of the Norris Square Neighborhood Project’s Art Factory, Una Casita Luna will be made public through an after school program and Genesis will host workshops on relief and relief printmaking (the process of inking the protruding areas of a surface, leaving recessed areas free of ink).
