  • Raise awareness about social justice issues through creative practice, pedagogy, and curriculum
  • Engage our community in dialogue about social justice issues through aesthetic experience
  • Cultivate partnerships that advocate for human rights and environmental justice through the arts
  • Use the arts to help amplify marginalized, invisible, and silenced voices in our communities 

 

 


Project Overview: Because what’s taken matters

The Artivism Project’s current work is a year-long endeavor
that will use a poem by Claudia Rankine entitled “Weather” (recently published in The New York Times) as the catalyst
for a variety of interdisciplinary, creative, arts and
humanities collaborations.
