Public art can easily transform a community visually, but can it also affect political, educational and economic transformations in a community? Kevin Harris argues that it can.

​
Kevin has carved out a space as one of Baton Rouge’s staunchest supporters of creative endeavors through The Museum of Public Art, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the creation of community-inspired murals in the Old South Baton Rouge community. The Chicago native is also a photographer with a passion for documenting communities and art in action. Kevin strives to facilitate public art that is relevant to the needs and lives of the local residents while also serving as a force for positive community development in underserved communities where creativity and work development are often stifled.

Watch Kevin Harris’s 2018 TEDxLSU talk below to learn about the impacts aerosol art can have on communities looking to document their history, advocate for resources, and carve out their space in the cultural landscape.
