This course is for activists, artists and thinkers who wish to better understand and participate in social change. We will focus on the prolific and exciting overlap between socially engaged art and the cultural practices generated by recent social movements around the world. Rather than assess the political efficacy of activities such as crying, listening, organizing, dancing, or celebrating, the conferences examine such cultural activities alongside and within contemporary art practice. Featured in the course are guest presentations from key artists, activists and scholars including: Rebecca Gomperts, Chido Govera, Gulf Labor, Hans Haacke, Sharon Hayes, Jolene Rickard, Gregory Sholette, Joshua Wong and many more. Designed by artist and Duke professor Pedro Lasch and co-taught by Creative Time Art Director Nato Thompson, the course challenges students to treat the MOOC itself as a social and artistic form. This happens mainly through the practical components, the local project productions, the global exchanges and the critical feedback. While no prior art-making or activist experience is required, the projects also offer challenging options for advanced students.
