Representing Saint Louis Story Stitchers Artists Collective: Leading performing artists in the Stitchers Youth Council performed their original poems, “Different” by Emeara and “Different II” by Branden. The poems draw from stories collected by the artists from St. Louis neighborhoods and reflect on the pressures of gang violence. The poems were commissioned by Saint Louis Story Stitchers in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
Check out the video of their recent performance at a Bullets Into Bells event in Saint Louis here.
