Papergirl-Brooklyn
Origins
To better understand Papergirl-Brooklyn, one must know the roots of the project.
Sina Basila Hickey & Annie Del Hierro invite listeners to explore the concept of giving away art for free. Aisha Ronniger, founder of the Papergirl Project in Berlin, talks about the evolution of papergirl and how this experience still stays with her today. Also on the show are other artists who contributed to and participated in Papergirl Projects in the past. Javier Jimenez and Greg Lang of Fatherless talk about the importance of collaboration in their work, Addison Karl talks about how creating a community art space in Berlin brought people together, and Luna Park talks about the different ways in which public art impact a community.
