Most, but not all, of ruap ’s projects involve university students and
faculty working with youth, either in the setting of the community
partner or on campus. Our activities fall into five broad categories:
v Community building (such as community arts summits held on campus).
v Community-based projects (such as the annual Day of the Dead
celebration).
v Class-based projects (such as the posters and billboards created in our
Large Scale Digital Art class with youth from a community partner).
v Community faculty (people who come to campus to share their
expertise with students and the public, such as a Senegalese musician
who taught drumming and performance techniques).
v Visiting artists (such as Dawoud Bey, Tony Gleaton, and Albert Chong, three
photographers whose work deals with issues of race and representation,
who visited the campus during the spring semester of 2003).
