 Restoring Hope through Art and Culture

COLLECTIVE PROJECTS
Picture
Red Stone Collective, under the direction of Rodolfo Serna, a local community mural artist, seeks to bring healing and opportunity to youth by providing art and cultural programming. The collective is currently working in Multnomah County Juvenile Detention Center as well as on various projects in schools and community centers.

The work in the detention center is focused on teaching art in a variety of mediums: printmaking, screen-printing, mural painting, ceramics and Aztec Dance. In addition, monthly Inipi (sweat lodge) ceremony is offered.  Several factors make this program unique and effective in reaching youth who are struggling to learn and use pro-social behaviors. For Latino and Native American youth, the connection to cultural traditions and knowledge is empowering and healing. Other youth learn about these cultures and receive support and mentorship. When youth are released, they are able to connect with the program in the community and continue to participate in any of the activities that inspired them.

Multnomah County Juvenile Detention is the only county facility for youth in the state that has an Inipi ceremony. Native American and Latino youth have some of the highest rates of non-completion for high school. Research supports improved school attendance and engagement when these youth are given access to knowledge of their culture and history.

Redstone Collective is community driven efforts meant to give participants ownership and fellowship of where we live through the use of the arts and traditional practices. We are visual artists, singers, writers, dancers, and so much more but it is together that we aim to impact the neighborhoods we live in.

The mission of the Redstone collective is to help our community heal and grow through the use of art, traditional practices, and stewardship.
