Our proposal for Typecast/Recast
Typecast | Recast is a public art exhibit brought to Omaha from the Anti-
Defamation League (ADL) – Plains States Region, and the Bemis Center For The Arts. The ADL seeks to improve the culture of our community so that all people, no matter who they are, can strive to live in a respectful and hate free world.
We should know if our idea is a finalist in a couple weeks.
Our team includes Richard Harrison, Michael Giron, Jeremiah Neal, Eddith Buis, Pamela Conyers-Hinson, and Rebecca Harrison.
We are artists committed to a story of redemption and hope for Omaha. The heart of
our piece is the quote by Daniel Beaty in his monologue play, Emergency: “Our greatest
pain can lead to our highest purpose.” The west wall of the Hilton Garage has the
potential to create two sets of painted panels that could have contrasting content,
depicting pain from typecast problems and purpose that comes from recasting.
To enrich the project we plan to learn the stories of individuals in Omaha and infusing
the imagery with them.
We have chosen materials that could endure weather for years, so the piece could be
utilized beyond the scope of the project
