Transformative Art-Practices for Engaging Community

Catalog description

This course is presented by IDA, the Institute for Diversity in the Arts. In this course, we will explore how artists are addressing and transforming issues central to communities of color such as housing, healthy food access, abolition, human trafficking, land back and cultural sovereignty. Our explorations will include visits from local and nationally recognized artists, activists and scholars as well as site visits to surrounding communities to understand how the cultivation of relationships creates unprecedented conditions for collective healing and repair.
