BMORE Than The Story

PROJECT ASK

Collaborate with the students of Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts to create an exhibit that speaks to the rioting that took place in May 2015, sparked by the death of Freddie Gray. We addressed issues of police brutality, the feeling of constant surveillance and biased media portrayals.

BMORE THAN THE STORY BACKGROUND

BMore Than The Story was a collaboration between visual and performing arts students from Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts, a Baltimore City Public School, the senior graphic design cohort from the University of Maryland, College Park, and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum in Baltimore, MD.

There were three main components of BMore Than The Story: the Wall of Names Timeline, Birds of Prey, and the Black Light Room. Each area offered interactive and thought-provoking content. In addition, there was a Who Are You? prompt on chalkboard that allowed visitors to think about and question stereotypes.
