CLAIMING THE VISUAL NARRATIVE

Claiming the Visual Narrative in Newark, NJ is a community arts project created by The Confined Arts (TCA) with the goal of developing representative imagery in Newark, a community that continues to be vulnerable to racially unjust narratives of the war on drugs.
  • TCA aims to form a Newark-based grassroots Community Convening Cohort (CCC) consisting of Newark community stakeholders that will conceptualize and install a community-developed art project that represents the values and principles of Newark residents. Our methodology:
    • The CCC will also conduct participatory action research and participate in focus groups to better understand artistic needs for expression and representation within the Newark community and neighborhoods therein.


Overall goals for this project are: (1) to establish a process for creating and installing public art projects and will increase opportunities for community healing and relationship-building, (2) to form a cohort of community stakeholders who are committed to facilitating public arts projects that prioritizes community partnership, and (3) to develop a methodology and toolkit with recommendations for how to build community engagement through public art projects.

The Confined Arts has partnered with Yendor Productions, a Newark based organization that fosters hope and healing through access to the arts and cross-cultural programming, to host a community meeting where grass-roots Organizations, Artists, Activist, and other community stakeholders can discuss the role that public art and aesthetics can play in ending to the war on drugs and systemic racism in Newark. 

The Claiming the Visual Narrative Project  will be responding to the Salvation and Social Justice Coalition call to action, as we explore the role that public arts and aesthetics can play in abolishing the war on drugs in New Jersey, and specifically the Newark’s West Ward.

The Confined Arts will also be discussing media production opportunities that are available Spring 2021 for ARTISTS IN NEWARK through our partnership with the Newark Community Solution Center
