A New Color – The Art of Being Edythe Boone focuses on the life and work of muralist, activist and educator, Edythe (Edy) Boone, a self-taught artist from East Harlem who moved to the San Francisco Bay area in search of a safe environment for her children. Filmed over five years, filmmaker Marlene “Mo” Morris follows Boone, the spirited and captivating septuagenarian who became an artist\/activist simply because empowering and building community is \u201cthe right thing to do.\u201d Concerned about the exceedingly high number of senseless deaths amongst young Black men in the U.S., Boone uses these injustices as part of the narrative in her murals.<\/p><\/div>\n
