Urbano is proud to announce that its teaching artist, Lina Maria Giraldo, was awarded a NEFA Creative City Grant for her “City Journalists” project in collaboration with Urbano Project. Lina’s place-based project documents Egleston Square by employing common cellphone technology to provide a voice to the struggle of gentrification in a diverse, predominantly Latino neighborhood. NEFA Creative City grants supports individual artists, artist collectives, and artistic collaborations in all disciplines and with roots in diverse cultures, forms, and aesthetics. NEFA Creative City is made possible with funding from the Barr Foundation.
