New on CAN: When two community artists entered a year of graduate studies at Harvard, they didn't anticipate feeling so disconnected from the communities that had inspired their return to school. Amanda Leigh Lichtenstein, a community writer and educator from Chicago, and Rachel McIntire, a muralist and multimedia artist from California, spent a year immersing themselves in theories of Arts in Education at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. At the same time, they embarked on a collaboration with Bread Loaf writer Mary Guerrero and her mostly Latino after-school writing group at Oliver Elementary School in Lawrence, Mass. They used body-mapping and poetry to explore the cultural crossroads at which all the collaborators found themselves. In a new story for CAN, Lichtenstein and McIntire give us all the details. [LINK]
