Recent Press: School Supplies for the Next Generation by Rolando Chang Barrero


I hope this begins a shift in our attitudes and and values about life and the current state of affairs.
My current work "School Supplies for the Next Generation"

I was thinking long and hard about my role as human being and my role as an artist . My desire to engage and get others to engage in a pro-active conversation to inspire change.
I did believe that this installation would date itself out and become an obsolete marker of a past event that no one wanted to ever remember.

I do believe that change is inevitable.
The Kind of change that places human life above all else.
I has not happened yet.
The kind of change that keeps school children and teachers alive. The kind of change that keep parents, siblings, families, and friends from attending mass funerals.
I reiterate...
I do believe that change is inevitable.
The Kind of change that places human life above all else.
I has not happened yet.
