“The Good, The Bad and the Empty”
A truly amazing group of 8th graders here at Whitman worked with CUP Teaching Artist, Doug Paulson, to investigate, film and create a documentary about abandoned lots here in East Flatbush…they did an incredible job and had a premiere at Anthology Film Archives on Tuesday night…everyone was so impressed with the students and the film, they really couldn’t believe that they were only in middle school!

CUP Screening at Anthology Film Archives
CUP Teaching Artist Douglas Paulson and students from the BCCP’s afterschool program at Walt Whitman Middle School looked deep into the emptiness and investigated hidden uses, ownership patterns, and alternate futures for the lots right near their school. They interviewed a community development consultant, an affordable housing advocate, a real estate expert, and asked property owners some tough questions to uncover the surprisingly full lives of empty lots. They collaboratively produced a documentary called “The Good, The Bad, & The Empty,” which premiered at Anthology Film Archives on Tuesday, June 1.
Congratulations to Alex, Ragjay, Shanice, Evette, Latifa, Stephan, Deshawn, Freddie and Angela!!!
Amazing Mural!!! Almost Done!!!
Mr. Pierre, the BCCP and Walt Whitman Art Teacher, has been working with a group of incredibly hard-working and talented students to create this mural depicting the community here in Flatbush.
I’d also like to note that Ashley Lloyd, amazing artist and 8th grader, painted a good portion of the people in the mural, freehand.
The mural was a collaboration between the BCCP and CMS, conceived of by Mr. Pierre.
