Class Details

In an era of ever-increasing emergency, what is the role of art? Can poems save us? What media and forms of exhibition are best suited to respond to urgent crises? What creative methodologies might we develop in collaboration with one another, in the interest of building community as well as making great art? This course is an interdisciplinary, experimental intervention into our present era. In addition to producing multiple original artworks, students will do readings and investigations into art activist case studies from social movements such as Puerto Rican sovereignty, HIV + AIDS, and global climate justice.
