Jess Damsen's article, "The Media Mural Project: Empowering Youth in New Mass Media" --based on work done while pursuing her MFA here at DANM-- has been published in the Journal for Learning through the Arts. This article describes the pedagogy, practice and outcomes of a digital art program developed to enable high school and middle school students to become active participants in new forms of grassroots public media. Students and their teachers become producers and controllers of art-based videos and associated digital dialogue which is distributed on the Internet.
