Everyone knows that art is wonderful in its own right. But do you realize that it is also a vehicle for many other positive things, especially social justice.

We would like to share with you a one hour presentation that was developed by artists Louisa Higgins and Luis Fausto. In the webinar, they share text, images and multiple film clips from four current artists doing powerful work worldwide:

• JR
• Ai Wei Wei
• Jackie Sumell
• Vik Muniz

The presentation also pairs each artist with a lesser known artist, who draws inspiration from one of the profiled artists, showing how that influence is affecting change in different spheres of influence.

This video is meant for educational use by secondary arts teachers and students. It took several months to compile and complete, and we happily share it with you and hope that you too are inspired to ask…Can Art Change the World?

We also hope that this introduction to such a talented and motivated artists will spur you to further investigate them and their entire bodies of work. Our collection of artist and content resources can help you get started.
