Tú y Yo / Yo y Tú
PS 018 Elementary School
Brooklyn, NY 2025
Nuestra independencia coexiste con la conexión con las demás.
During the 2024-2025 academic year, educators and students at PS018 worked on a multidisciplinary project combining visual arts, music, and video. To begin, all PS18 caregivers answered fun-yet-personal questions about their children (such as positive traits and terms of endearment).
Through exploring that data of the students’ commonalities and connection to one another, PS18 created:
~ a collaborative mural in their school commons depicting graphs that represent all PS18 caregivers’ answers to fun-yet-personal questions about their children (such as positive traits and terms of endearment)
~ a translation of the school song You and Me, Me and You into Spanish in order to add the lyrics to the collaborative mural
~ a remix titled Tú y Yo, Yo y Tú
~ a music video for Tú y Yo, Yo y Tú using a green screen and hd video cameras to capture one another singing and dancing, as well as feature the mural.
Additionally, classroom teachers participated in an arts integration workshop as a component of the residency project.
The project was made possible through the support of the Arts for Multilingual Learners grant program from the NYC DOE.
