This day includes icebreakers, lunch and time for your students to interact with students from your cohort partner school. Two films, black enuf* and Delilah, created by filmmaker/artist, and Kansas City native, Carrie Hawks, will be screened. The films, both studies in identity using Hawks’ personal experiences, will lead students into a Storytelling Workshop developed and led by Kansas City Public librarian Jamie Mayo. The workshop includes writing exercises, opportunities to hone storytelling skills, story sharing and modeling of how to provide feedback.

Community Health Council of Wyandotte County (CHC) along with the creators of the Redlined Comic Book series will examine how historical property value discrimination (through redlining in the 1930’s) has snowballed over time into Wyandotte neighborhoods suffering from inadequate housing, lack of access to adequate health care, and environmental health injustices. CHC will present the Health Equity Transformation report. Students will be engaged with Head, Heart, Foot exercises (what does this information make you think? how does this information make you feel? how does this information inspire you to action?) The comic book team will present the comics and work with students to tell their own three panel comic based on the report.

This event will include icebreakers, gallery discussions, lunch and art-making. Students will discover how race and power permeate art, dissect it, and offer their own response. Students will visit the featured exhibition Napoleon: Power & Splendor to examine how Napoleon crafted his own all-powerful identity through self-aggrandizing portraits and opulent household goods. Students will compare the work of contemporary artists like Kehinde Wiley, who are rewriting traditional narratives of power and privilege by inserting new stories into artwork from the past. Students will consider their own stories and values, and work with local artist Heinrich Toh to create Wiley-inspired re-mixed portraits highlighting a person or group of people left out of the traditional narrative of art history. Final portraits will be shared.
