social justice art

the role of the artist is to document happenings, explore places (both emotional and physical), question possibilities, and share their experiences with others. the ultimate goals of art are two-fold: 1) to understand and express, and 2) to make others feel something or think about something in a different way.

in interrogating challenges and realities related to our social, political, economic, and environmental contexts, social justice art is a powerful means of focusing attention, expressing emotion, highlighting injustice, and making connection possible.
