Critical Ethnic Studies Studio introduce students to the interrelations between race/ethnicity, art making and design practices. These courses complement the Critical Ethnic Studies Seminars with their hands-on approach in which themes of ethnic identity are incorporated into studio and community practices.SECTION DESCRIPTIONTelling Stories takes an experimental approach to storytelling, exploring ways of narrating personal and collective stories in visual media, while focusing on the development of collaborative projects and artistic initiatives that involve the community on various levels from process to presentation.  Emphasis will be on interdisciplinary processes from assemblage and installation, to sound and performance, from animation to video, creating projects that use research into histories of place and people as their inspiration and conceptual grounding. Presentations, guest lecturers and field research will examine ways in which art has contributed to the articulation of ethnic identity, exploring the power of storytelling in bringing communities together, expanding understanding and creating social change.
