Overview
The Summer Urban Laboratories program was the second formal educational project at The Periscope Project, and the first working directly with youth.
During July 2012, I worked with resident artists and educators at The Periscope Project to build a program with and for high school youth impacted by gentrification and homelessness. The program leveraged the urban landscape as a creative classroom and point of inquiry by introducing students to intensive visual, analytical, and collaborative practices. Youth engaged with the symbols, structures and ecologies that form San Diego's urban public realm.
On August 16, 2012 a reception and exhibition showcasing student works from past student collaborations including the 2012 and 2011 Summer Urban Labs was held at The Periscope Project.
