This week the arts group met up to story board some more, and we have a lot of great content! I specifically was pulling quotes regarding to neighborhoods and the idea of arts districts in Baltimore and information about specific artists and people.
While we were storyboarding, we kinda had this "oh crap" moment when we were like "how is all of this going to relate back to change?" But I think as our piece comes together we will be talking about change from a perspective of art always being in Baltimore, but emphasizing how it has changed and grown over the years.
It was really cool to be storyboarding because while all of the interviews we have involve people from different backgrounds and, they all are talking about the same sort of things just with different perspectives.
Also this week I transcribed the Kalima Young interview. I loved talking to her and hearing all of her ideas on creative place making, artistry in the city, and the future of Baltimore. I kind of geeked out during her interview because of how she talked about the buy-in of individuals in spaces of investment and development. Kalima's thoughts on displacement and opinions on complicating the narrative of gentrification are ones that I feel like are so important to address. I'm not sure how they could completely fit into our piece, but I hope we can at least begin to talk about these ideas. I would recommend everyone check out Kalima's interview, but I think it would be especially interesting for the Uprising group to listen, just for some background and context of her comments in class last week.
