This Tuesday Dorian and I met with the kids who expressed interest in the project at Dyett High School. Seven students showed up to the meeting. A large number of them expressed interest in cartoons and anime so we're hoping that the graphic qualities of those media will lend themselves well to the design for the mural. Dorian showed the students a wide variety of images of political murals, protests, and protest materials from around the world and we talked about possibilities for the composition of the mural and ways we could incorporate elements of installation into the hallway. On Wednesday, Dorian brought in more examples of protest signs, some patterns samples, and large swatches of brown paper and we brought them to the space so the students could start collaging onto the walls with tape and begin visualizing their ideas more clearly in the space.
