AFRICA | AMERICAN STORIES: IDENTITY AND DREAMS  

Identity and Dreams 
 

This collection of African American children's artwork and poetry originally appeared in the FLARE exhibition that opened at the Armory Center for the Arts in June of 1997. These works are a small sample of the materials produced by over 450 students from fifteen elementary school classes over the course of a year. They reflect an individual exploration of identity, personal history and dreams for the future.

 The Armory Center for the Arts is a community arts center that engages broad participation through innovative approaches to creating, exploring, and presenting the visual and performing arts.
