SESSION SPOTLIGHTS
We are so grateful to the community of cultural workers that has agreed to share their thought work with the AES2020 community, as we move to collectively build equity. Meet some of the activators, shakers and makers who help ensure the movement happens.
Equity-by-Design: Resistance in Arts Education Praxis through Inquires, Celebrations, & Creative Constructs
Through interactive activities and creative process, Danielle and Terrance invite us to collaboratively reconfigure HOW we think about and do arts and education, core pipelines to arts participation and leadership. Decolonize our imaginations by dismantling and redefining rigor, ensure access to meaningful experiences which transgress Patriarchal-White Supremacy-Capitalism-Ableism, investigate and get inspired by exemplars for centering creative practices which are equitable by design and empower diverse ways of knowing and being in order to expand our palette for applying equity-research. Bring your own insights and creativity!
Art & Global Health Center Africa, Lessons from Malawi
Working together to share lessons from their work, Rodger and Sharon invite us to:
1. Look at the application of Umunthu, the pan African philosophical concept of humanity, in curbing health access disparities of LGBTI persons through creative participatory arts.
2. Look at the various participatory arts approaches that ArtGlo's UN SDG Action award winning MASA program uses to engage different audiences in gender and sexual and reproductive health and rights issues.
