Art, Culture, and Social Justice: New Orleans MULTIPLICITY -66- FIELDWORK
by M. de los A. MuĂąoz MartĂnez [HP]
Headed by Prof. Caron Atlas, this experiential course takes place every year after the APA conference, and aims to investigate how the arts and culture are a fundamental part of the vision and the construction of equitable and sustainable communities. For the Spring of 2018 the location was New Orleans, and with the collaboration of Mimi Zarsky -local artist who has been working with the artist community in NOLA for over 20 years- we went on site visits, guided tours, cultural events and had conversations with people representing multiple perspectives, thus exploring the intersection between arts and culture and social justice.
