MOVING MURALS: CULTURE, HISTORY, + CULTURE

2013- Hosted by MoCADetroit's DEPE Space public arts residency this project treated contemporary art selections as "moving murals" that traveled the city and surrounding area with a public program meant to spark imaginations and conversations. Within the museum and outside its walls, this program paired videos of cultural and social relevance to the history of Detroit with dialogue and workshops. Organized by resident artist Shani Peters the program featured works form Peters, Aisha Cousins, Ariel Jackson, and Jasmine Murrell. Their videos looped inside the museum along with an installation of contributed new works and ephemera. Addition public programing was hosted by Eastern Michigan University, Detroit's Northwest Activity Center by way of the National Conference of Artists, and MoCADetroit's Fall '13 Family Day.
