Embracing Art for Social Change

- 2. The arts, it has been said, cannot change the world, but they may change human beings who might change the world. Maxine Green
- 4. NAEA Position Statement on Art Education and Social Justice NAEA recognizes the importance of art education to raise critical consciousness, foster empathy and respect for others, build community, and motivate people to promote positive social change. Service learning is one approach to education in which social justice is addressed through service with others, often in arts-based projects. Artists often engage with the issues of their time, and some treat the creation of art as a social practice. Art can provide a meaningful catalyst to engage individuals and communities to take action around a social issue. The processes by which people create and interact with art can help them understand and challenge inequities through art education and social justice. The interconnectedness of the Internet has enabled many social justice and service learning projects to grow into global arts-based efforts. Visual art educators are encouraged to have their students participate in pre-existing social justice/service learning projects or to develop their own.

Notes de l'éditeur
- “Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other’s welfare, social justice can never be attained.” - HELEN KELLER I found this pin years ago at a gallery in Albuquerque. I think it is a perfect title for art and social justice.
- NAEA adopted a position paper on Art Education and Social Justice in March 2015. You’ll find it on the Position Statements page on NAEA’s website. NAEA recognizes the importance of art education to raise critical consciousness, foster empathy and respect for others, build community, and motivate people to promote positive social change. The interconnectedness of the Internet has enabled many social justice projects to grow into global arts-based efforts.
- For me, art and social justice all come together in the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market, held every July in Santa Fe. This past year, it changed its name to the International Folk Art Alliance. http://www.folkartalliance.org/ International Folk Art Alliance Mission and Vision The IFA mission is to celebrate and preserve living folk art traditions and create economic opportunities for and with folk artists worldwide. IFAA envisions a world that values the humanity of the handmade, honors timeless cultural traditions, and embraces dignified livelihoods for folk artists across the globe.
- 1000 artists, 100 countries, 31 $ million.
- From South Africa
- Artists’ sales increased by 11.9% from the 2013 Market – to $3.02 million in 2014. The average sales per booth amounted to $19,440. Artists retain 90% of their sales. Revenues earned support their livelihoods and their families and helps sustain entire communities. 18,822 people attended. More than half of attendees (75.3%) came from outside of Santa Fe from 37 different states and at least 28 foreign countries.
- Over the years we have become close friends with artists who regularly attend and often have these artists come and speak to our group. On the left is a young man from Mexico, Cilau Valadez, who is preserving and continuing his Huichol culture through yarn and bead paintings. Rebecca, on the right, started a village in South Africa for women who had been put out by their families or had no where else to go.
- The Market has changed the lives of so many artists and artisans around the world. Here you see Naina and Surendar, a husband and wife from Pakistan. The woman on the right is Patricia Stoddard, who singlehandedly brought respect and a market to an isolated village in Pakistan.
- Naina came to see our group right after she landed in Santa Fe and also at the end of the market. Her transformation during that short time was amazing! The first time she ever left her village was to get a passport; the second time was to fly to America. She represents a cooperative who has now been able to start a school for both boys and girls.
- Naina working in the booth. Most of the artists demonstrate in their booths. They are not used to having idle time.
- Social Justice and Service Learning are other terms often used for humanitarian projects. SchoolArts used “Compassion” as a theme for this issue.
- Guerilla Activists
- Every issue of SchoolArts now has a feature on an art-based, social justice project, called “Focus In.” These two of our most recent.
- The Memory Project
- http://memoryproject.org/ Ben just delivered portraits to children in refugee camps on the border of Syria and Jordan. Afganistan is next.
- The Memory Project was the first social justice art project that I discovered. Art students create portraits for youth around the world who’ve been neglected, orphaned, or disadvantaged. It was started by Ben Schumaker in 2003 in a Guatemalan orphanage. Given that kids in such situations tend to have few personal keepsakes, we're aiming to provide them with special memories that capture a piece of their childhood - portable pieces of their personal history. As much as possible, we also want to help the kids see themselves as works of art. To do this, art students receive photos of kids on our waiting list and then work in any medium to create the portraits (drawing, painting, digital art, collage, etc). Next, we deliver the portraits to the kids as gifts. We also take photos of the kids holding the portraits so the art students can see the delivery in action. www.memoryproject.org
- Now you can use collage and digital media to create portraits for the Memory Project. The Memory Project is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. The way they get virtually all of their funding is to ask that everyone who signs up to create a portrait to contribute $15 to help cover the costs involved. All contributions are tax-deductible.
- The Memory Project was developed by Ben Schumaker as a graduate student of social work at the University of Wisconsin. In 2003, while volunteering at an orphanage in Guatemala, Ben learned that the kids had few special belongings to represent moments of their childhood. They had very few photos, for example, to serve as memories from their early years. Since Ben had always enjoyed making portraits in school art classes, he had the idea to get art students involved in creating portraits for the kids. The Memory Project was officially born in 2004 and Ben still coordinates it full-time today. To date the project has created nearly 50,000 portraits for kids in 34 countries, and we intend to keep going as long as possible.
- As long our participants continue to have a passion for creating the portraits, we’ll keep it going! But on a more sober note, the greatest threat to the Memory Project is likely the cuts that school art programs have been facing around the country. Art teachers regularly tell us that their budgets are being been slashed, or even that their jobs are being eliminated. This is a tragic loss for the youngest generation, since art education is very effective in promoting creative thinking and problem solving – skills that young people will need to advance progress in our society. So please support school art programs in any way that you can!

- The Wish Tree has been a part of many exhibitions by Yoko Ono since the 1990s. People are invited to write their wish on a piece of paper and hang it to a tree branch. It's like a collective prayer in a way. Some wishes are deeply personal, some global wishes for peace and better future for humankind. “As a child in Japan, I used to go to a temple and write out a wish on a piece of thin paper and tie it around the branch of a tree. Trees in temple courtyards were always filled with people’s wish knots, which looked like white flowers blossoming from afar.”
- Anyone can make a wish tree. Make a wish. Write it down on a piece of paper. Fold it and tie it around a branch of a tree. Ask your friend to do the same. Keep wishing Until the branches are covered with wishes.
- Wishes will be placed in the wishing well of the Peace Tower in Iceland
- “I wish for you to stand up for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we'll turn the world...INSIDE OUT. Art has the power to change the way we view the world. It has the ability to bring us together and reflect our humanity on a grand scale. With his global art project, artist and TED Prize winner JR is turning the world inside out, in a big way. He’s using photography as a vehicle for change by, quite literally, putting a face to an issue. His team travels the world taking portraits of people and printing them on large-scale paper to then post in public spaces. His “Inside Out” public art project works with communities online and around the world to print and display their photos and stories along the streets where they live. His soaring installations shine a light on the unsung and give everyone the dignity they deserve. http://www.insideoutproject.net
- INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Upload a portrait. Receive a poster. Paste it for the world to see. INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually. http://www.insideoutproject.net/en
