Current, Boston Children’s Museum’s inaugural artist-in-residence program is inspired by the teaching and learning theories of contemporary artists and arts educators. Eve Ewing, the first artist-in-residence, is a celebrated artist, educator, scholar and writer. She is also a doctoral candidate at Harvard University; as a sociologist of education, her research is focused on racism, social inequality, and urban policy, and the impact of these forces on American public schools and the lives of young people. Ewing’s project A Map Home is an immersive installation using swaths of canvas, paint and Sharpie markers that explores themes of place, childhood adventure and exploration, and the ways we connect text and image to make meaning in everyday life.
