#schoolclosures

#tbt This is was the video portion of my senior thesis project at Penn in 2015. I still love this shape! (#icosahedron) And I still want to work more with the themes I was trying to address in this project, including the concept of a monument, school closures, hidden burial grounds, and the forgotten histories of African-Americans in Philadelphia. All of that was a lot to try to tackle in one project. Maybe now I delve into it more thoroughly. Anyone else interested in dissecting these themes through the perspective of art?
