Dig This: Urbano Project’s “Our Planet, Ourselves” 3-Event Series

Written by DIG STAFF Posted August 15, 2022 Filed Under: A+E, Visual Arts

A free series “celebrating artwork created by youth artists and community participants”


Urbano Project is a “community arts non-profit that brings together artists, youth, and community members through public and participatory art projects as a way to foster personal transformation, community care, and social change,” and they’re the force behind several public art happenings from Fort Point to Hyde Park.

The organization’s curatorial theme for this year and next is “Our Planet, Ourselves,” consisting of a “year-long series of arts programming exploring ideas of ecology, wholeness, and oneness through artist-led projects focused on placemaking, performance, and creative justice.”

With their summer efforts winding down, Urbano is planning a three-day showcase, “a series of three events celebrating artwork created by youth artists and community participants” from August 18 to 20: “Performance: History/Ritual/Identity,” a Community Art Project with Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Lani Asunción exploring place-based histories and identity through collaborative performance; “Making Oasis,” a Youth Artist Project with AiR Joseph Madres exploring placemaking through environmental installation art; and “Through Our Eyes,” a Youth Artist Project with AiR Sarah Plotkin investigating climate justice through performance & theater.
