In this lively and groundbreaking book, arts educator Marit
Dewhurst examines why art is an effective way to engage students in
thinking about the role they might play in addressing social
injustice. Based on interviews and observations of sixteen
highschoolers participating in an activist arts class at a New York
City museum, Dewhurst identifies three learning processes common to
the act of creating art that have an impact on social justice:
connecting, questioning, and translating. Noting that “one of the
challenges of social justice art education has been the difficulty
of naming effective strategies that can be used across multiple
contexts,” Dewhurst outlines core strategies for an “activist
arts pedagogy” and offers concrete suggestions for educators
seeking to incorporate activist art projects inside or outside
formal school settings. Social Justice Art seeks to give common
language to educators and others who are looking to expand and
refine their practices in an emerging field, whether they work in
art education, social justice programming, or youth development.
