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, and printmaking) have worked with the PLI’s Cohort 9
students during the Spring 2009 semester to represent the racial
and school segregation history of California.

Artists:

Carlos Aguirre and Tommy Shepherd
Victor Cartagena
Ellen Sebastian Chang
Erika Chong Shuch

Supported by the Arts Education Initiative
Funded in part by the Ford Foundation and the Heller Foundation
