New in CANu: Art as Activism Syllabus

Another syllabus on "Art and Activism" has been added to the CANuniversity collection of resources for community-arts education. The course, created by Maggie Leininger at Roosevelt University in Chicago for Spring 2008, will investigate current theory as it relates to public, guerilla and political/social-based art work. In addition, students will develop a collaborative public artwork that will take place in the North Lawndale community of Chicago with Umoja, a nonprofit group that helps students at Manley High School to enter college. Students will be responsible for initiating, implementing and completing this collaborative process and will have direct interactions with members of Umoja and the North Lawndale community. A bibliography is included. [LINK]
