At KSMoCA Mr. Brown collaborated with PSU students to facilitate a workshop in Ms. Maalaea’s first grade class, inspired by the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. He believes that if children are given space to think deeply about this question, they can take steps to actualize their dreams.

Additionally, we invited professionals from the community that represented occupations students desired to learn more about. College students from PSU paired with the first graders to interview the visitors as Mr. Brown photographed their interactions. During a follow-up workshop, the first grade students augmented poster-sized portraits of themselves depicting their future selves working in their dream professions.

These works will be exhibited alongside images from Mr. Brown’s “There’s Magic in Dreams” series created in the late 1980s/early 1990s.

The exhibit opening takes place in the cafetorium hallway. Please stop by the Main Office to sign in and receive a “Visitor” pass to the school.

Update, 1/17/24: This event was originally scheduled for Thursday, January 18, 2024.
