Groove in the Grove with UMOCA's Art Truck

Join the Poplar Grove Community Council at their 6th annual community event celebrating the diversity of Poplar Grove while striving to inform and connect its residents with information, resources, and programs. There will be free food, live entertainment, and an assortment of activities for all ages. Visit the UMOCA Art Truck, currently exhibiting Jaime Salvador Castillo and Michael Anthony García’s whereABOUTS.

Jaime Salvador Castillo and Michael Anthony García’s whereABOUTS is an immersive and interactive installation that investigates location, identity and community. Students learn about mapping as a way to understand and express relationships between identity and place. Then, they explore their own communities through creative map-making of their neighborhoods. The whereABOUTS installation aims to connect students from different communities around the state by providing opportunities for visitors to learn about experiences other than their own.
