Alice’s Anger and Alice’s Dream.

KsMOCA, Portland, OR. 11-2024
As part of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School Museum of Contemporary Art (KsMOCA), I have an ongoing mentorship with a fifth grader named Alice. The culmination of our fall term together was the multi-stage project “Alice’s Anger and Alice’s Dream.” To process our feelings about the 2024 election, we began by drawing caricatures of Donald Trump. On the back side of the page, we drew the world that we would rather see—Alice drew Kamala on top of a hill with a rainbow behind her to symbolize LGBTQ rights, while I drew an eco-commune. We formed these sheets of paper into airplanes with Trump’s image on the inside and shook off the stuck energy of helplessness and despondency by throwing them through the hallways of the school. The physical action of throwing paired with our world improving visions flying through the air reminded us there were still things we could do to bring our visions into reality.
