Course Description: Art and Activism Studio Project

Art and Activism Studio Project

46-2505J

This course presents opportunity for hands-on civic engagement, with two guiding questions: 1) Can art save lives? 2) It might be activism, but is it art? Students read theory and examine examples of artistic activism in the larger context of social and political issues informing artistic action. In the studio students execute their artistic action plan. Students will complete, present, and hand in written assignments reflecting on and connecting theories of artistic action with their own practice of creating activist art.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
