Overview
Mission
Working with youth and under-served communities through art-based activities and programs focused on social justice issues. Opportunities for making art are so limited in Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) communities that we aim to artify that condition and give it an artivist spirit. We create with youth and families inviting them to dig into their roots and celebrate their resilience. Project Attica allows us to take the tools of art and social justice to bring people together. To bring a sense of social justice activism coupled with the therapeutic benefits of art-making to communities that are constantly under attack is to allow for collective healing and increased understanding. This is what we seek to accomplish as an organization. []( Mission.
What it reported doing in 2024
Project Attica has been able to take the artivism workshops into neighborhoods where poverty and underfunded education systems are the norm thus being able to bring free art opportunities for children and community members alike reaching thousands of youth in New York City alone. We have spoken about our work at conferences surrounding art, activism and the role they play in dismantling mass incarceration in the United States at the Columbia School of Social Work. This work includes providing artivism activities in the form of painting.
