Direct Message

The Teens of Making Justice and Faisal Abdu’Allah

May - June 2016

Direct Message was an exhibit created by teens in the Bubbler’s Making Justice program, which tapped community resources to foster a 15-week project in hands-on, peer-supported learning and digital literacy. Bubbler teens addressed Dane County, Wisconsin’s distinction of having nation's widest black/white educational opportunity gap and the highest per capita black juvenile arrest and incarceration rate. This semester-long project allowed them to explore and redefine their own public image.
