What made you decide to intern with The LP? How does the internship relate to your studies, passions, aspirations?

Do you have your own creative practice? If so, tell us more!
I have a few creative practices, one being I love to dance hip hop, and step. On an academic level, I love looking at the different meanings of blackness and community, more specifically readings from James Baldwin to Edwidge Danticat and essays from Jamaica Kincaid. Although not all of these authors are from Harlem, I like to learn about their own experience in different spaces of whiteness and hopefully, through my learnings, spread the knowledge to the community, friends and family included.

In your opinion, why does art matter?
Meet Melody Rivera!
Programs Intern
Melody is a Programs Intern at The Laundromat Project. She loves making and viewing art of all types.
In your opinion, why does art matter?
Art matters because art is a means of expression. Everyone has a voice and an opinion. Art just happens to be one of those tools that can set people free and allow them to express their inner feelings whether it be about their deepest fears, their perspectives on the world or express their frustration about why women pants don’t have bigger pockets. Art is everything and everything is Art.
