Arts, Activism, and Justice

Catalog description

Students in this course discuss, analyze, and reflect upon the many ways in which artistic activism can amplify and bolster social justice movements. Students interact with artistic pathways, such as Theatre of the Oppressed, protest art, civic practice, performance art, and more, to study how individuals and groups can bridge creative expression with social change. Students also explore how the arts can support communities to identify oppression and injustice, leading them to articulate their goals and demands, so as to achieve a liberatory means.
