Black Lives Matter in Baltimore: My Colleague Christopher Metzger Travels to Art Basel in Miami Beach

chrisreedfilm,

My colleague Christopher Metzger, formerly of Morgan State University, now of Stevenson University (as of Fall 2015), created an outdoor installation with his students at Morgan in the Spring of 2015, on the theme of Black Lives Matter.

He took his inspiration from French photographer JR’s Inside Out Project

Metzger’s work was invited to be a part of Art Basel in Miami Beach, in December, 2015.

I edited the above video piece – and shot the additional talking head interviews – for Metzger to have playing as part of his exhibit. Enjoy!
