Grounded in commitments to social justice, the course considers how artists, educators, and cultural workers create spaces of collective meaning-making, public engagement, and care within and beyond traditional K–12 and institutional settings. We will examine how storytelling, memory, and embodied knowledge operate within community arts as tools for advocacy, healing, and transformation. Through an emphasis on listening as an ethical and pedagogical practice, students will explore how deep engagement with participants’ lived experiences can shape collaborative, creative processes that honor community knowledge and listen intently to underrepresented voices. Course topics include the history and future of community arts, the politics of participation, relational aesthetics, and the possibilities and tensions of public art. Students will conceptualize and/or develop arts-based research projects that attend to place, identity, and power, while critically reflecting on their role as listeners, co-creators, and advocates within the work. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
