Communicating Common Ground

Celebrating Diversity and Community

Reception for students, parents, administrators

Grant High School Library Spring 2001

 

All students involved in the project from CSUN and Grant High School were give a 4 inch by 4 inch wood block and asked to create a visual representation of their cultural identity or identities.  The blocks were taken and assembled to create this piece of art. 

The overall effect, as you can see, is of a collage or mosaic that allows us to see our individual identities within a group or community.  While each piece is unique and interesting individually, the complex interplay between and among them and the overall design that is created as the blocks are brought together provides an inspiring metaphor for the possibilities of a culturally diverse world.
