A discussion and workshop exploring art making in collaboration with social justice movements, through the lens of labor, equity, and identity. Movement Art WORK is a collaborative event highlighting the work of movement artists. Through an interactive format, we hope to explore issues such as the disparities in gender and labor in social movements as well as understand what work is valued above others and the contributions to the movement by grassroots organizations.

Featuring:
– Dr. Natalie Bennett (Director of the Women’s Leadership and Resource Center at University of Illinois at Chicago)
– Monica Trinidad (Artist and Cofounder of For the People Artists Collective)
– Aram Han Sifuentes (Artist)
– Sam Kirk (Artist)
