Persue Returns with Catnap

“The ChangeMakers are Detroit 5th graders working to “Be the Change” in their city by collaborating with street artist Bunny Kitty on a mural. The Plymouth Educational Center ChangeMakers are a group of 5th grade students in Detroit. Our school year is divided into three parts: Be the change in your own life, be the change in someone else’s life, and finally … BE THE CHANGE IN THE CITY OF DETROIT! In this process we hope to inspire others to take ownership of their surroundings.

Last year we beautified a park next to our school [Forest Park]… this year we are continuing to work on Forest Park, and in addition, we are creating a MASSIVE mural on the old, abandoned Juvenile Detention Center wall across the street from our school. For the mural we will be partnering with world renowned street artist Dave Persue [Bunny Kitty], 1xRun and Inner State Gallery. We hope the mural will create positive energy in our community… it’s also an opportunity for us [5th grade students!] to take charge with our vision for Detroit.”
