Mari Evans is a 96-year old poet, educator, editor and pioneer in the Black Arts movement of the 1960s-80s. She has lived in Indianapolis since 1947, and helped shape women’s history, politics and art of the 20th century. To commemorate her legacy, Big Car Collaborative will create a public mural, reintroduce Evans’ books into IPS schools and create and host an art exhibition of her work to raise awareness of her lifetime of courageous artistic expression.
