Freedimensional/CIAC Syndicate 19 Brooklyn,NY











Hello this is Arthur Bouie. I'm the Special Project Associate for Freedimensional and the Center for International Arts in Community. I'm writing for our Syndicate 19 school program.

CIAC's Syndicate 19 program offers collaborations with local youth in our arts and media literacy program, which operates in conjunction with the International High School at Prospect Heights. We are focusing on projects that enable artists to work with educators to empower local high school students to investigate and document their world critically and creatively. Our program is multi-disciplined offering the students a chance to work with many mediums from digital photography to the web.

Our 01 project will be a time capsule with the graduating class that focuses on the growth experienced by the students of International High School at Prospect Heights during their time in this country. This is the first group of high school graduating students, and it is an honor to showcase their achievements. In addition, our project will be linked to the work we'll be doing with our partners in Cairo.
