The BRAVO! Project:
Leadership as a Redemptive Act

We know ourselves as social selves
Parents and children
Members of a people
Inheritors of a history and a culture
That we must nurture
Through memory and hope.
 — Robert Bellah, et al. “Habits of the Heart”

The BRAVO! Project is an arts education project that employs
critical pedagogy, critical race scholarship, and artistic methods
to examine hard questions and find a way to heal as we together
confront, confound and collaborate in a learning community.

Leading Bay Area artists (performance, beatbox/spoken word,
theater, digital storytelling, and printmaking) have worked with
the PLI’s Cohort 8 students and PLI graduates Karling
Aguilera-Fort, Kyla Johnson-Trammell, Marilyn Zoller Koral,
Kevin Pattison, and Han Phung during the Spring 2008 semester
to represent the racial and school segregation history of
California.

Artists:

Carlos Aguirre and Tommy Shepherd
Victor Cartagena
Center for Digital Storytelling
Ellen Sebastian Chang
Erika Chong Shuch

Supported by the Arts Education Initiative
