The panelists include Rex DeLoney, artist and educator at Little Rock Central High School; Jose Hernandez, artist with the 7th Street Mural Project and X3Mex; Dr. James Ross, historian and professor at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock; and Jessica Taverna, art educator at Little Rock Central High School. Dr. Marta Cieslak, director of 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Downtown will moderate the discussion on art, history, and civic engagement.

This panel discussion will accompany the opening of the exhibit, “Their Voices,” which will be on display through Dec. 7 at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Downtown. The exhibit features the artworks of young artists, who under the guidance of art teacher Jessica Taverna, reflected on the history of the Elaine Massacre. The question of how people can examine the past and engage in the present through art is in the center of this interdisciplinary project.

The “Their Voices” project was originally supported in part by a We The People grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities as well as Thea Foundation.
