Nelson Mandela Day
Street Light Schools
67 minutes of activism every July 18 is a way to celebrate and commemorate the legacy of Nelson Mandela. In 2017, I learned of Street Light Schools and their vision for re-imagining standards, environments and approaches to learning in South Africa’s most underserved areas. As a way of showing support to this initiative I collected old books and created a mural installation within the library space with the help of students from Artist Proof Studio. The old books were folded origami style, and installed onto the walls of the library.
