Stories Seldom Told: Less than Equal @ Say Sí

On July 7th, 2017 SAY Sí will present Stories Seldom Told: Less than Equal, an artistic study of educational inequity in San Antonio and its effects on our youth.

With the annual Stories Seldom Told exhibition series, SAY Sí student-artists are challenged to critically examine issues that they feel are often ignored. After voting on a topic, the young artists work with mentors to conduct intensive research. Artists then collaboratively present their findings and generate ideas to create multimedia art installations that express those findings. The goal is for youth to present these issues with fairness and honesty. In previous years, students have explored issues of race, gender, mental health, poverty and corporate America. This year students chose to explore inequity evident in their education system.

Stories Seldom Told: Less than Equal will provoke audiences to consider how young people are affected by issues such as: standardized testing, policing in schools, special education and unequal access to resources. Young artists have created work that prompts viewers to discuss, reevaluate and seek solutions to their topic. Completed installations will transform the SAY Sí galleries into avant-garde spaces.
