King Charles | Urban Sol 14 | Chicago Footwork
King Charles of the FootworKingz gets it in at Urban Sol 14.
Urban Sol is rooted in the unlikely union of the ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts and the Valley of the Sun's urban artist culture of DJs, MCs, graffiti artists and dancers. This is a rich, uncharted collaboration among scholars, performers and urban artists.
Join this vibrant, young movement where urban artists inspire us to notice, to engage and to change. Where the classrooms are the streets, walls and public spaces of campus and city and where discovery occurs in the scratch clinics, graffiti art lessons and dance battles of Urban Sol happenings.
