The Dream Catchers Tour comes to Bergen Community College!

#TeamSophia News

Happy Monday Everyone!

Last week Haitian American Artist, Sophia Domeville returned from San Francisco to continue The Dream Catchers Tour where she worked with Student and Faculty members at

Bergen Community College for their Black History Month Program!

Ms. Domeville introduced her highly popular Mural Project, a creative method developed by her used to discuss images of empowerment or community activism with phrases and cut out fabric images there creating a collage mural piece by the participants.

In commemoration of the 50th year of the March on Washington, during which Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous I Have A Dream speech, participants were asked,

“What did the I Have A Dream speech signify to them?”

With these words, stories and images generated an amazing mural expressed through the usage of fabric.

The work will be presented during the school’s Black History Month gala later on this month.
