Art and Activism: Learning From The Community

Jan 17, 2010. 10:30 pm

I have been invited to present my Masters project paper at the University of Detroit-Mercy in March. The title of my paper is " A Multicultural Exploration of Female Scholar-Actvist Artists In Detroit, Michigan." I documented the lives of Dr. Gloria House, Michele Gibbs (Russell), Lolita Hernandez, and Emily Lawsin. Dr. House, Ms Hernandez and Ms Lawsin will be a part of the panel discussion. Ms Russell will not be able to attend but I know she will be there in spirit! As soon as I receive the date, place and time of the presentation, I'll post it on this site and email everyone.

Ms Gibbs' work in Oaxaca, Mexico can be found at:
