Borrowed Voices Performance
Borrowed Voices will showcase poetry, short stories, writings, and a recreation of Shakespeare's Othello created by incarcerated young men (ages 13-18) from the juvenile detention Camps Afflerbaugh and Paige. The young men will be allowed to visit Pitzer College to perform their work for the Colleges and Claremont community.

World Culture Mural Project
Ongoing spring and summer 2008 mural project at the Salvation Army in Ontario. The first mural includes the continents of North and South America, Europe, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. Pitzer students and children from the HERO site contribute art pieces as well as painted collage elements from art students at the Heman G Stark Youth Correctional Facility in Chino.

Artist In Residence - Open Art Project (3/24 - 3/28/08)
CCCSI co-hosted the inaugural Murray and Vicki Reynold Pepper Visiting Artist and Scholar, Gilbert "Magu" Lujan. Lujan is a celebrated artist who was one of the first Chicano artists to be invited to show at L.A. County Museum of Art. He worked with Pitzer students in the Old Sanborn Basement on an eco-mobile art project to design a "Cultural Vehicle."

Repression...unseen black panther footage (3/12/08)
Focusing on the Black Panthers Movement at the very moment that their Los Angeles headquarters were being bombed by the LAPD, a small group of avant-gard film-makers from California Newsreel created the short documentary, "Repression". From the trenches of 1960's arts-activism, the film exposes a forceful call for a trans-cultural, trans-national revolution of the working class.
