NAIDOC Week 2015: ARTinstead

  July 5, 2015 - July 12, 2015

Exhibition

Overview

ARTinstead was an exploration of how art addresses ongoing local, national, and international dialogues about race. In this full day of programming, participants explored their own racial and cultural identities and experiences, and considered how art can be used instead of violence to encourage change. ARTinstead was spearheaded by UVA student Holly Zajur, (CLAS 2015) a Global Development and Arts Administration major and an intern at Kluge-Ruhe, who was granted The Minerva Award to research how cultural identity is conceptualized and expressed through art, and the capacity of art as a tool for social awareness and action.
