Mission Uplift is a short documentary film and music video created by visual artist, poet, and playwright, Taria Person. “Mission Uplift is about utilizing the art-making process to uplift oneself and others,” explains Person. The documentary explores anti-bullying aspects through commentary and unique visuals.

The documentary focuses mainly on Person as an artist from growing up to the present. “Mission Uplift explores life skills including leadership, effective communication, and conflict resolution, as well as includes my poetry, hip-hop, dance, and visual art to encourage uplift.”

Paired with the documentary are exploratory art pieces created by Kindergarten through 1st grade artists in the Turnip Green Creative Reuse after school programs. Students showcase their unique take on “uplift” through reuse art materials.
