“Men of Change” Exhibit | Spoken Word Collection

Summer 2020

King 5 News interview that provides an overview of the exhibit and the commissioned pieces created by christian paige.

I was commissioned by the Washington State Historical Society and the Ford Motor Fund to create original poems to accompany the art pieces in the Smithsonian "Men of Change" exhibit highlighting black men and their contributions to American society.

The pieces were performed live at the grand opening and VIP events as well as visiting student groups. Each of the pieces corresponds with one of the exhibit's themes. To learn more about the Men of Change traveling exhibit, visit www.menofchange.si.edu
