Art as a Catalyst for Social Change and Justice

In this dynamic course, you explore art as a force for social change and justice. Through brief screenings and powerful examples—from Gordon Parks and Raoul Peck to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera—you learn how, through the years, artists have challenged injustice, amplified marginalized voices, and reshaped public consciousness. Grounded in both history and the present moment, the lecture presented also underscores the enduring power of art to influence movements, disrupt narratives, and inspire change.
