The King Arts Complex Executive Director, and Leadership Columbus Class of 2020’s very own, Jevon Collins, is coordinating a collaborative effort to fight racism and promote social change with the HeART of Protest campaign.
Between Juneteenth and the November General Election, more than 20 different art organizations are creating 46 non-consecutive days of art showcasing Black history in the U.S.
“People need a way to vent, a way to express themselves. And creativity – you’re able to speak, for some, more easily than talking to some,” Collins said.
Collins estimates there will be close to 10 events monthly throughout the summer, like a performance of “Sanctuary Road” by the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, a production of “America Son” at CATCO or an exhibition of Aminah Robinson’s work at the Columbus Museum of Art.
