Creative Activism – Using Art to Champion Social Justice

Workshop for grades 9th through 12th

This workshop guides students through the process of artfully expressing their social or cultural point of view. Instead of chasing down our audience using information and data to garner interest, a creative approach to activism builds a fire of interest and intrigue, drawing people to our cause in an organic and original way. Borrowing subversive art techniques like sticker bombing, graffiti, improvisation, and the creative use of social media, participants learn antiestablishment but pro-social methods for communicating their point of view.
