Alexandria DeHerrera really kicks it into high gear with a beautiful performance as a participant in the Move Mountains Project: San Luis. Linking the land rights struggle of San Luis, the communitys inspiring heritage and vibrant art to social justice focused artists and educators from around the country established a powerful relationship. The Move Mountains Project believes in sustainable, just paths for youth that begin with their voice and aims to evoke this voice by pairing youth with young leaders from diverse backgrounds who have overcome similar barriers through entrepreneurship, art, and science. Connecting the deceivingly isolated struggles of rural life in San Luis to the deprived condition of inner city Philadelphia broadened the perspectives of both the youth and the visiting artist educators, while deepening our collective sense of justice. Move Mountains is about placing the community in the hands of youth. This summer youth raised their ground-shaking voices throughout a month of activities and the Art and Science Festival on 7/26/14. And well be back next year! ow.ly/C1WVg
