CORE 003 SC - Mobilizing Art

This course will survey and analyze activist and political art strategies, theories and case studies, from the 20th and 21st centuries. In parallel with our study of current and past models, we will construct a toolbox of techniques for addressing current issues, spanning multiple arts disciplines, and deploy them in activist art projects generated and led by class members. Some meetings of this class will take place in incarcerated spaces. Final class project: Members of the class will create a musical performance together with the women of Crossroads, a transitional housing project for formerly incarcerated women. Although musical skills are not a prerequisite for initial registration, the class will be creating and performing music together. Everyone in class will participate in the final project as performers.
