New Media Arts Apprenticeship 2015

The use of deadly force has become so standard in the US that every 28 hours an unarmed black person is shot by a police or vigilante for the State.     

 

We, the youth producers from EVC's New Media Arts Apprentice program, created this transmedia project with a goal of Bridging the Gap between the community and the police.

 

This website aims to stir up dialogue between youth, community and the police, exposing ineffective policing practices and moving towards a solution. We've remixed EVC's youth documentaries to ground us with historical perspective and heard from community leaders, activists, lawyers, and organizers. This website offers their diverse perspectives on the issue and suggested solutions -- with the hope it can move us to understand and act.

 

We feel all voices are much-needed as part of the conversation to find necessary solutions for healing, grief, and transformation to take place in our communities and the NYPD.
