ARTH 181. Independent Study

Independent Study: Crafting Kin: A Year of Socially Engaged Art

By inviting social practice artists for a series of workshops and programming, Crafting Kin: A Year of Socially Engaged Art will foster a culture of dialogue and mutual aid among students and the Swarthmore community. Learning from others, the project invites us to think creatively and collectively about how to resist difficult historical times. Held on Mondays over lunch, the workshops series fosters community among students and introduces us all to longstanding models of collaboration among art and culture workers. Students will propose and execute a series of socially engaged art projects.
