The next generation creates

The Goodness Tour’s educational work at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts connected artistic practice, science, civic engagement and community empowerment.

The creative process

More than 250 students engaged across classes and activities. More than 100 students contributed directly to a participatory mural beside the outdoor amphitheater, alongside school leaders and community members.

People & collaboration

LACHSA students, school leadership, the wider school community and The Goodness Tour.

A continuing conversation

This project belongs to a wider practice of community-authored expression. Its relationship to Artegenesis is explored as part of Benjamin’s developing research, without assuming identical effects across communities.
