Project Girl Day Camp • Ages 10-18

July 14-17, 2008 • 9 AM–4 PM daily

Clear skin. White teeth. Red lips. Painted toenails. Flawless bodies ... Is this even real? What are girls supposed to look like?

Come rap about it, write about it, paint about it, film about it, speak about it! At Intermedia Arts first ever summer camp featuring Project Girl, the nationally touring visual arts exhibition in response to popular media advertising and entertainment, you have a chance to make your stand and express your reactions to the world around you. Workshops in writing, poetry, digital photography, video, and visual arts are led by nationally renowned spoken word artist Desdemona and celebrated visual artist Katrina Knudson.

In addition to the workshops, you’ll also get to see the visual, literary, digital and video artwork done by professional artists. The exhibition also includes some amazing artwork by other Project Girl young artists who were guided during each media deconstruction workshop to express their own interpretations of media messages.
