In 2012, artist and UMBC professor Steve Bradley conducted weekly art engagement activities at Benjamin Franklin High School (BFHS) in Brooklyn-Curtis Bay neighborhood (also known as Baybrook). Under his guidance, high school students made short animated movies with the help of UMBC university students. Filmmaker Exsul Van Helden from the Baltimore-Rotterdam committee and his Stevenson University students produced a documentary about the dynamic collaboration that evolved between the high school and university students. The documentary also talks about some of the other activities that happened in 2012, such as Dr. Nicole King’s cultural mapping activities in Baybrook.
