Ben Gilbarg and Angel Diaz are mobilizing youth through digital media, helping individuals explore career paths and ultimately find their voice in a noisy world. Big Picture Anthems was founded in 2016, but its model has been developed over the past two decades.
Ben is a creative catalyst and communications visionary with a passion for social impact, and Angel has been engaging youth to pursue their passion in Southeast Mass.
In 1998, Ben co-founded 3rd EyE Unlimited and for 13 years engaged young people through mentoring, community building, and hip hop cultural events such as the nationally recognized 3rd EyE Open Festival.

Ben has worked with thousands of youth since 1998 and therefore has the pulse on what young people respond to.

With Big Picture Anthems and STEAM the Streets, Angel travels to schools to engage students in an interactive assembly including his turntables, profile videos, music video, and dynamic images.
He showcases the many careers that involve STEAM and encourages students with motivational speaking to pursue these career paths. He currently serves as head of the music department and STEAM teacher at Our Sisters’ School, an independent non-profit, tuition-free school for low-income girls.
