Dystopic Stories: Arizona
As the Artist in Residency at Combine Studios, from June 1-7, 2014, I invited youth to a collaborative brief writing workshop on the dystopic future of living in a state that has banned ethnic studies in the public school system. It was held on Saturday, June 7th from 2pm - 4pm, at Librería Doncelles hosted at Combine Studies, in Phoenix, Arizona. Participants were asked to think about how the lack of ethnic studies has effected the urban and rural landscape, neighborhoods, and people we live or interact with. Youth will participate in a collaborative authoring of future stories of youth living in Arizona as well as had the opportunity to design what an ID would look like in 100 years. Will it be necessary to carry an ID at all times? What kind of information will be required? Can an ID to a personal story?
