New Kids on the Block | “Mapping Soulville” with Aisha Cousins

Posted on by

A few weeks ago I chatted with artist Aisha Cousins in her Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn apartment about her upcoming residency for the Laundromat Project‘s Create Change Program.

Read more about Cousin’s newest performance score that will commemorate the life of human rights activist and community icon, Malcolm X here.

The Laundromat Project is a community-based non-profit arts organization established in 2005 that uses local coin-ops to provide communities of color living on modest incomes with broad access to visual art.

Aisha Cousins (born 1978, Boston) has exhibited her performance-based works at numerous institutions including the Museum Of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Houston’s Project Row Houses, and Kitchen. She will be a Create Change Artist-in-Residence from June 1 to October 19, 2013.
