Teaching artist Jenny Pickens is guiding girls through a #PageLab connecting history and arts. Quilting squares blend creative work with hands and historical research. Honoring the stories of former teachers and children at Mars Hill Anderson Rosenwald School @IreneJennyPick1
Our #PageLab at an historic Rosenwald school in Mars Hill is bringing together history and the arts. Girls are exploring old photos, paintings, and documentary films. All taking place inside a schoolhouse that once served Black children. Art is helping girls honor their stories.
We were thrilled this week to launch a NEW College Pathways summer opportunity for 11th and 12th grade students. Exciting to watch young women create new pathways to their imagined futures. @girlsalliance@girlrising
PAGE has re-opened its doors this summer with a pop-up #STEM classroom. Girls are enjoying hands-on plant science inquiry and gardening with our new Heritage Garden #PageLab. Helping girls become stewards of their Appalachia. Connecting to past and future. @GrowAppalachia
We loved this story, set in Cherokee and Asheville in 1942, by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle. She is the first tribal member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to have a novel published. Listen to her talk tonight, 6-7 pm, at the MHU Ramsey Center: https://t.co/PdoTC9RLcC
Yes, we need boys and men to fight for gender equality too. Outdated & static gender norms limit all of us. We applaud @girlrising for doing this important work!
#READ: Christina Lowery and @HP's Michelle Malejki on how we must deploy men/boys in the battle for gender equality and how we can collectively put equity and intersectionality at the center of this effort @TriplePundit: https://t.co/S39nL5uRu0

bell hooks writes, "We know ourselves through the art and act of remembering." This summer we will collaborate with the Mars Hill Anderson Rosenwald School and use art to honor the history of the school and remember the people who breathed life into it. #page2021
