Editors— Nakeysha Roberts x Amanda Rubí Luciano

Here are a few snaps from our recent @acluofwi + @acluwistudents workshop for their Summer Justice Institute which works with adolescents to combine the act of creating art with civic engagement. This year my Co- Facilitator is @a.rubiluciano_art. We patterned our workshop after her sculpture first exhibited at @walkerspointart hello how are you doing? Thank you. Is it bleeding or you can’t and created paper sculptures in which student considers social issues that most mattered to them and their communities. Using poetry, problem statements, and creating a paper sculpture symbolic of the changes they want to see in their communities.

We Are Genre.

Genre: Urban Arts is a playground for creatives. Our global contributorship includes artists who are committed to their crafts from photography to spoken-word. We also offer exhibiting & performing opportunities for visual & performance artists via pop-up galleries. Anyone can submit their work to be published in our print magazine & on our site.

Founder and Editor-in-chief, Nakeysha Roberts Washington, launched Genre: Urban Arts in December 2015 as a quarterly magazine publication & a blog featuring daily site posts from contributors. We are based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but home to 60+ creatives who all have their own medium in which they create— Their own Genre.

Genre: Urban Arts is a true friend to the creative, a support for the artist in a world that wants us to end our dance with our connection to divinity- end our connection with the most innate part of ourselves. Here we are protected & freed from the societal pressures of mundanity.

We welcome you, #GenreFam!
