In May of 1971, Marvin Gaye released What’s Going On. A year later, he performed it at the newly-opened Kennedy Center.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of this event, the Kennedy Center is leading a national conversation around the issues and ideas on the record. We’re asking young people to think critically about these themes and respond in their own artistic voice. In May 2012, we’ll bring the conversation home to the Kennedy Center in a concert featuring John Legend, the National Symphony Orchestra, and other special guests—maybe even YOU! Be a part of this celebration by sharing your perspectives through images, poetry, video, music—wherever you find your creative voice.

Makeshift LYRICIST LOFT!!

Falling Victim to Technology

Artist Statement: My old computer monitor that stopped working, I decided to smash it with a sledgehammer, put on some fake cuts and blood and stick my arms in it. Multiple pictures put together in this one, one each for the arms, one for the ground where I forgot to hide my cup of blood, two for the fingertips on the sides of the screen, and the original. Cropped it, played with the levels and the colors and voila.
