Cornell Performing & Media Arts commissioned a group of Ithaca High School’s emerging artists, Creatives of Color, to design and create a 16' x 8' hip-hop/graffiti-related mural to serve as the backdrop of a performance by legendary B-Girl Ana "Rockafella" Garcia and DJ Ha-MEEN; the performance was part of a series called “The Wild Gather: On the Floor, Off the Screen, and Through the Body.” The artwork was completed with the assistance of several art classes with leadership from the Creatives of Color members.
On Friday, December 1, the mural was unveiled at a Freestyle Cypher dance event at the Flex Theatre, followed by an artist talk led by Ana “Rockafella” Garcia and Ben Ortiz, curator of the Cornell Hip Hop Collection.
Congratulations IHS student artists on this fantastic collaboration and achievement, and thank you, Cornell Performing & Media Arts!
