Art and Advocacy

Catalog description

While all art is political, not all art is designed to engage directly with policy debates. This course will explore various ways that art is incorporated into advocacy, and how non-artistic advocates understand the role of art in their work. Students will leave this course with a better understanding of how advocates think about art and artists in their advocacy, how they might partner with advocates on issues they care about, and how to maximize the impact of their art on policy debates.
