As We Bloom

In a world that has been filled with tragedies we would like to forget—wars, recessions, pandemics—what aspects of our lives would we like to hold onto forever? Over the course of a five-week residency led by Asa Featherstone, IV, eight students learned the basic elements of storytelling, mobile/digital/film photography, filmmaking, and interviewed a collection of people within their community from different generations that explores this question. The students created a collection of new works that become an abstract multimedia exhibition about freedom, justice, wonder, and coming of age through multiple eras. Featherstone guided production and shared work alongside the youth apprentices.
