ABOUT AESJ
The 2025 Art & Education for Social Justice Symposium provides an opportunity to gain insight into a range of practices aligned with social justice and the arts and aims to start a conversation across disciplinary areas. The goal of this symposium is to include and amplify voices that are often on the margins of academia and to share the theories, methodologies, and results of art and education practices that strive to have a direct public impact.The symposium will focus on the guiding question: How are art and education inspiring, affecting, and promoting social change?
Inspired by the work of a range of theorists, contemporary practices suggest that art can support the development of oppositional knowledge by inciting imaginative re-envisioning of the past, present, and future. The creative work of doing and making in communities can turn art practice into public praxis, suggesting transformative ways of being together in the world.
