Tam Makers is launching an Art Float for Social Change to coincide with Earth Day, Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades in California this year. The float will showcase music, technology and art to engage young people and people of color and to encourage them to become more involved in democratic processes. The float will feature a carousel of waving hands and a giant feathered serpent, and performers will tell stories of hope on a stage decorated with scenes of a better world. Large signs will invite people to speak up and vote.
The community art project is led by Fabrice Florin and Geo Monley, co-founders of Tam Makers, and is being built by a team of students and creators. The team is also grateful to Tam High School for providing the space for the project and the volunteers and partners who are helping to make it happen. Volunteers are welcome to help with the project, and anyone interested should email float@tammakers.org or visit the Tam Makers website for more information.
