PAMM Education Launches Digital Resources for Kate Capshaw's Exhibition on Homelessness and Community

PAMM Education has curated digital educational resources to accompany Kate Capshaw's exhibition 'Exclusive Tonsorial Services.' The resources explore historical and social themes related to homelessness and systemic inequities through a Digital Humanities approach. A key offering is StoryCorps's 'Brightness In Black' interview featuring Miami barber Sergei Grant and PAMM director Franklin Sirmans, discussing camaraderie in barber chairs as part of Capshaw's 'Unaccompanied' series. The resources include links to local organizations like Camillus House, Chapman Partnership, Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust, and United Way Miami, along with donation information. Recommended books include Matthew Desmond's 'Evicted,' Chris Arnade's 'Dignity,' Kevin F. Adler and Donald W. Burnes's 'When We Walk By,' Elliot Liebow's 'Tell Them Who I Am,' and Andrea Elliott's 'Invisible Child.' Additional resources list a homeless assistance helpline (877-994-4357) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services homelessness programs website. The initiative aims to empower individuals with visual literacy and critical thinking tools, connecting art themes to broader societal issues.
