Course Sequence in

Art & Inquiry

Art and Social Justice | This course is for artists, activists and thinkers who seek understanding of and participation in art for social change.  We collaborate with locally-based artists and organizations to introduce students to the experiences of using their craft in the cause of social justice. This cross-curricular, interdisciplinary studio/seminar is open to students from UNCSA and WSSU.

Art and Climate Change |  Faculty and students will work together in creative research on our own campus ecology, iterative scientific and artistic processes, supplemented with rich, interdisciplinary source material.   This course gives students opportunity and access to investigating their own climate impact, discovering strategies that UNCSA might embrace to make an even bigger difference.  In multimedia projects, we explore ways to deploy the powers of art to educate, advocate for change, or even mitigate climate impact.
