Youth Quake

On her Facebook page, Dale Davis, ATA Executive Director, has posted this link to a story about a compelling, youth-led video project.

The youtube info gives this background information and context:

This short is a product of "break/s beyond the ballot," collaboration between BCAM students, the Hip Hop Theater Festival, and MAPP international. Artists in residence Marc Bamuthi Joseph and Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi facilitated four days of intensive work with the youth at BCAM, where they developed written pieces that articulate the students' views. Then, we worked at BCAM over the next 2 months to transform those written pieces into short films and graphic arts pieces. They will be incorporated into future productions of Bamuthi's acclaimed "mixtape for stage," the break/s.

Long live the young.
