2015 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Lauren will celebrate and honor teenage girls from North Philadelphia with the creation of a collaborative portrait project. Through a series of artistic workshops on identity, racism, sexism, and the effects of poverty in their communities, the young women will create self-portraits, both visual and written, to portray themselves as leaders in their community and acknowledge the obstacles they have overcome. As a culmination of the discussions and artwork from the workshop series, Lauren will create oil portraits of each young woman. The students will write, collage, draw or paint on the same canvas to express their identities and their hopes for a more just world.
