The I AM__: The Pride of Sunnyside Young Artist Collective
The I AM__: The Pride of Sunnyside YAC is an arts-focused initiative aimed at engaging youth
with older generations in the Sunnyside community. Randle will host workshops at her family-owned restaurant, The Shack Houston, which will create opportunities for students to research and partner with elders in the community to realize a series of artistic creations including an oral history preservation project, mural installations, multidisciplinary performances to be shared with and uplift the community. The I AM__: The Pride of Sunnyside YAC celebrates Sunnyside’s history, fosters unity, and offers an artistic space for expression, pride, and healing. This project aims to remind each community member and the city of Houston of the PRIDE that still resides in SUNNYSIDE.
