Educator Speaker Series: Artivism in the Classroom with Monique Marshall

Art as a tool for activism (i.e. artivism) is an accessible and impactful way to invite students of all ages to explore their ability to interrupt unfair systems. The journey from developing a positive sense of identity and exploring the beauty of diversity, to understanding injustice and systemic oppression in society, must culminate with student social action. In this workshop, you will learn to support student activism in your classroom through project-based practice and begin developing your own artivist project.
