CHLT 083 CH -Solidarity & Popular Education

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Solidarity and Popular Education Through Creative Expression Through this class, students will learn about the diverse experiences that connect local and global communities through the arts. By exploring the historical context in which distinct art forms develop and flourish, we will engage with critical questions relevant to modern-day social movements and arts productions within global solidarity campaigns. The creative mediums we will address include performance art, musical production, street theatre, poster art and muralism. We will examine these art forms in relation to solidarity efforts with communities made vulnerable through ongoing injustices and inequalities in Africa, the Americas, Middle East and Southeast Asia. Examination of the diverse artworks will generate ideas in relation to disciplines such as history, political science, and sociology.
