Identities and Communities Through Art Education: A Conversation

Join artists and educators Nicole Marroquin and Malika Jackson over Zoom for a conversation on how art and community has empowered Chicago youth in social-political ways.

Exhibiting artist Nicole Marroquin’s practice examines the history of art and activism in Chicago’s student walkouts since the 1960s. Jackson has cultivated Dixon Elementary School’s unique Afro-centered collection with works from students and national artists. Since 2002, the Chatham-based school collection has celebrated cultural and historic contributions by African Americans in its hallway. Together they discuss how art education is a tool that facilitates self-determination and political expression.
