I don’t usually post about my students on my personal IG account. Today, however, I wanted to share about an experience we had, that was inspired by the ART they made in the classroom. For over 10 years, as a school, we have participated in the ‘Inside/Out Project’, a global initiative, that grew out of a TED Talk, by the French graffiti artist, JR. In his talk, ‘Can Art Change the World’, JR challenged the audience to take large, black and white photos - 3’ x 4’, and paste them in their communities. These semi-public photos were meant to spark dialogue, raise questions, and even make people uncomfortable.

To my students’ credit, they have continued to push their ideas, challenge stereotypes, and welcome conversations about religion, identity, race, mental health, and other markers that round out their existence as young people (not yet adults).

This year, one young artist came to me, and asked - “Mr. Katz, do you know about the Central Park Five?”. Surprised by the question, I said, “Yes, I do!. What can you tell me about that?”. Obviously, the student had been having conversations at home, about a wide range of subjects, and was eager to share what he had discovered. He wanted to recruit four of his friends, and pose as the CP5. This way, he could introduce these important conversations to his curious peers. I have included some photos of our installation, in this post.

Unbeknownst to the group, I decided to write to members of the CP5 (now The Exonerated Five), to let them know about what our young artist had made. While I had difficulty reaching all of them, Council Member Yusuf Salaam, one of the E5, responded. I just figured that we might get an encouraging message, or a ‘thumbs’ up, as feedback. Instead, we were invited to participate in a Zoom call with the Council Member.

The pictures here, document our brief discussion with Yusuf Salaam, who made time for the students, despite his packed schedule. Calling from his car, he fielded questions, and responded with enthusiasm when we described our endeavor.

These 8th Graders, did an amazing job, and I was blown away by their maturity, thoughtful approach, and evident gratitude.

Six years ago, my art was featured on the cover of UpStArt magazine. It’s a local, quarterly that provides stories, advertisements, and colorful exposés on The ARTS and culture, in the area. - Annapolis, MD

Here’s what I wrote, at the time: Wow! I’m so grateful to the Up.St.Art family of creatives - Julia, Jimi, Cory for sharing their pages with me. I’m not sure which part is my favorite: the corrugated cardboard spine, the title of the article (a not-so-subtle nod to A Tribe Called Quest), or the generous layout of the piece. It’s a bit overwhelming. Thank you!
