Jason Reed "Borderland Collective"
Open Source Gallery
This event has ended.
In late October, artist Jason Reed (director of social art project Borderland Collective) will take residence for 10 days in Brooklyn to collaborate with Open Source Gallery in Park Slope and youth from the Brooklyn School for Collaborative Studies.
The project will function as a means for a diverse group of young people to explore place and identity in Brooklyn through map-making and photography. The youth will individually and collectively explore their personal geographies, illuminating spaces and places of comfort, contention, and possibility.
The resulting work will be exhibited at Open Source Gallery for one month, presented on the Borderland Collective website, published as an on-demand zine, and preserved in the Borderland Collective archives at Texas State University.
Borderland Collective is a social art project that facilitates the participatory exploration and documentation of geographic and sociocultural borders. Fueled by collaborations between artists, teachers, youth, and families we use art as a means to trouble notions of who holds knowledge and what stories are told, providing an inclusive representation of the contemporary American experience.
