About this badge

Grassroots creative projects offer unique opportunities for exploring conflict and justice and can sometimes serve as catalysts for cultural and political change. But how exactly do these activities make space for change and what are the societal underpinnings necessary to sustain the change these works seek to create? Through case studies, explore the work of the Belarus Free Theatre; the Philadelphia-based Mural Arts Project; the work of Afghanistan Human Rights Democracy Organization; the New York-based Bond Street Theatre in Afghanistan; the storytelling and applied theater-based project, We Are Here Now in the Rio Grande Valley; and the hip hop dance movements in Ghana and South Africa. Engage with an array of artists and practitioners who are experts in their fields, providing opportunities to ask questions and become familiar with how art practices impact the world around them.
