DREAMERS DOCUMENTED AT NSC

Nevada State College


Field Notes:  The Inside Out Project dropped by Nevada State College on November 14 and left behind images of faces wrapped around the sculpture of the campus mascot.  The international art project, launched in 2011, is inspired by JR, the street artist known for large‐scale “pastings” in public space. This visit and installation is on behalf of Inside Out/ Dreamers, a national edition of the project that focuses on DREAMers. From the website:
​

Beyond any political debate about dreamers, these portraits remind us that behind the policies are real human stories that are deeply rooted in the story of this country. Inside Out/ Dreamers aims to represent the diversity and unity of people that can call America home. It is a nationwide participatory art initiative aimed at creating a portrait of America that includes immigrants and the descendants of immigrants alike.

Nevada State’s drone, Maverick 2, captured the aerial photo now featured on the project’s website. It was grounded last week but rose “from the ashes to capture aerial footage of the Inside Out exhibit,” reported NSC's Visual Media department on their Facebook page.
