Shoreline Community College\u2019s Arts and Equity Project is looking for local artists from historically underrepresented communities who have a demonstrated commitment to equity and social justice in their creative work, to participate in a planned series of presentations and workshops during the first week of June.<\/p>\n
Artists selected for this event will spend from 1-3 hours showing their work, discussing how it relates to equity and social justice, and leading an interactive workshop with students and other members of the campus community.<\/p>\n
The series theme is Deconstructing Boundaries, which embraces many possible approaches. Our project intersects with the work of others on campus including the Community Read Work Group, which this year is focusing on the book Papers: Stories of Undocumented Youth (Graham Street Productions, 2012), and a project working on developing sustainability-related curriculum We are inspired by past work at our college centering issues of equity and social justice. We are looking for artists from diverse backgrounds working in any medium, including but not limited to visual arts, literary arts, music, movement, theatre, film and video, and mixed media.<\/p>\n
The Arts and Equity selection committee is made up of faculty, staff, and administrators from across campus, including representatives from Adult Basic Education, American Ethnic Studies, Art, Chemistry, Communications, Drama, English, Library, Multicultural Center, Music, Sociology, and Student Life.<\/p>\n
