Affirmative Radical Circles: Group Painting Mural

Affirmative space for conversations through creating, exploring, sharing, healing, and unpacking the ways we seek community-liberation and empowerment.

2019 PROJECT THIRD fellow, Shaun Leonardo’s project is to partner with students to conduct a Social Practice Laboratory, offering an investigation into forms of creative public engagement. Viewable from the window-front of the Dekalb Gallery on campus, a series of student-driven projects will explore the interpersonal potential of this ever-broadening and messy practice, in various social spaces including the community center, prison, classroom, and living room, while instigating the public vs. private nature of this work.
