Uplifting Dreamers: Nationwide participatory art project comes to Carson City
Inside Out/Dreamers were in Carson City on Thursday at the Bike Smith as part of a nationwide participatory art initiative. The project, launched by award-winning artist JR, creates portraits of America that includes immigrants and the descendants of immigrants.
During Thursday's stop, Inside Out/Dreamers brought a photo-booth truck to the community to give individuals an opportunity to have their photos taken and use art as an expression of standing in solidarity with Dreamers.
The portraits are meant to remind the community of the real, human stories and faces behind the national debate surrounding Dreamers. In the face of the Administration’s decision to rescind DACA, the Inside Out/Dreamers project hopes to provide communities and local leaders with a unique platform to amplify their voices.
