About “The NEXT Movement” – A MARTA Artbound and NEXT Collaboration

Set against the backdrop of a specially commissioned MARTA train, THE NEXT MOVEMENT features powerful performances by leading Atlanta creatives working at the intersection of art and social justice: poet and author Jon Goode; musician CC Sunchild; cellist Okorie ‘OkCello’ Johnson; poet and author Carlos Andres Gomez; and visual artist Melissa A. Mitchell. The series speaks to the impact of todays divided world, a national racial reckoning and each artist’s answer to the question: Where do we go next?

The concert film is the latest element of The NEXT Movement campaign, a multi-platform arts and social action series launched by NEXT and MARTA Artbound that aims to elevate the voices of Atlanta’s artists to address the community’s post-pandemic dreams and challenges, while harnessing the connective power of mass transit to ignite meaningful conversations.
