May 13, 2021 @ 5:00 p.m. In this Art @ Home talk, Elizabeth Denneau and Dr. Gloria J. Wilson will discuss contemporary art in the K-12 and college classroom and its role in anti-racist teaching practice. In conversation with Chelsea Farrar, UAMA Curator of Community Engagement, the educators will explore art education’s role in re-inscribing or resisting systems which produce racism and ways in which a Western-centric lens may be interrupted to imagine potential for creating transformational change in art classrooms. With the goal of amplifying marginalized stories, we reimagine the potential of the margins as a way to create movement, to pull apart and allow for resettlement.
