American Griot Project Residency Program
In 2021, sponsors The Harrisburg (PA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated and the Capital Area School for the Arts brought Reclaim Arts into the school for the first American Griot Project Residency Program. The students chose Hair Stories for their theme, learned interview, writing, and performance skills, and presented their poetry as part of their end-of-the-year CASAlive! celebration.
