Project Row Houses: Week 1
Sunday, March 21st, 2010
It has been an amazing week of discovery, challenge, bonding and breakthrough at Project Row Houses. Ayanna Jackson, Mendi and Keith Obadike, Glexis Novoa, Crystal Campbell and myself have been installing our pieces at the Project Row Houses with the support of the staff and our illustrious curator William Cordova. The conversations meaningful and the laughter plentiful amidst hard work and thought.
