The purpose of the Locating Place or "The Eastside" project, was to show an audience how the artist views the Eastside of Austin. We also had to relate our view of the Eastside of Austin to a theme. I decided to talk about the struggle of the everyday minorities. I decided to show a feeling of grit, grime, and hard work. The song is a collection of songs that tell the story of the minority in this world. I really enjoyed this project because I love telling a story with my work, and this was a great opportunity to do that.

Locating Place (Phase 2)
Locating Place Book Final
This is the second phase to the Locating Place project, in the form of a book. I decided to do more grit and grime and the use of imaging to further the story of the struggles of minorities. I added another aspect to the theme, and decided to bring out some of the flaws of hip hop today. I feel at times the rappers do not take advantage of the power of influence they have to bring about change to the world, or at least their respective communities.
