This live Zoom event features CCA faculty who have had significant success integrating activism into their fall 2020 courses through collaborative projects, public programs, and online exhibitions that were featured in CCA’s Creative Citizens Series. These efforts were seeded through CCA@CCA Faculty Micro Grant Awards, which were designed to support course efforts tied to democratic engagement and enable implementation of immediate public-facing projects or activations to improve the learning experience of students and offer critical resources for civic involvement. 

This event is moderated by Sam Vernon (Assistant Professor, Printmedia Program) & Jaime Austin (Director of Exhibitions & Public Programming).

Participants include:

chris hamamoto / Assistant Professor, Graphic Design Program

Linda Geary / Professor, Painting and Drawing Program

Steve Jones / Adjunct Professor, First Year Core Studio Program

Susanne Cockrell / Associate Professor, Community Arts Program

Vreni Michelini-Castillo / Adjunct Professor, Critical Ethnic Studies Program

This event is part of the Creative Citizens in Action initiative at CCA (CCA@CCA), and is funded by an endowment gift to support The Deborah and Kenneth Novack Creative Citizens Series, an annual series of public programs focused on creative activism.
