| Description: | Making Art and Making Trouble Annie Strader teaches performance, video and ceramics, is an artist and mother to two young girls. The Philosopher Theodor Adorno famously wrote, "Every work of art is an uncommitted crime." Throughout the history of social movements and revolutions, artists have responded to violence, injustice and oppression and often have found themselves censored, imprisoned, or facing some other form of persecution. In this tutorial, we will examine artists who address socio-political issues and engage in creative social practice directly with communities creating work that weaves together art and life. We will discuss if Art really can effect social and political change while considering the responsibilities of artists, institutions and curators. We will discuss works by Ai Wei Wei, Banksy, Tania Bruguera, Krzystof Wodiczko, Kara Walker, Mel Chin, Theaster Gates, Rick Lowe, Pussy Riot, Guerilla Girls and many more. |
