Footprints: An interactive public art map
Kelley Crawford, Steven Melendez, and Emma Fick worked together to create a custom interactive public art map for New Orleans. This project was made possible through a grant provided by EPNO (Emerging Philanthropists of New Orleans)! Take a walk and click away!
Consider the canvas strap
There are many things we interact with on a day-to-day basis that we see no deeper purpose in, canvas, the material being one of them. However, in prisons across the country, canvas straps are being used to unethically tie down prisoners for minimal offenses and tie down Black people to a mass incarceration system that is a modern form of slavery. We pride ourselves on being the home of the free, but not everyone is free. Writer Becca Langman explores the disparities in prisons that tie down Black people to a system full of injustice.
