Lead by Dr. Teresa Ascenção, NEW114 explores how art can draw attention to social problems, mobilize support for and symbolize social movements, and inspire new visions for imagined futures. For the Knowledge Fair, students delved into art-making to apply knowledge about the contributions of contemporary art towards social and environmental change. In this inquisitive and hands-on New One course, students read about political artworks including Artivism, participated in transformative artworks with guest artists, visited art spaces such as A Space Gallery and Tangled Art + Disability, and wrote a paper about a local contemporary art work that is advocating for a particular cause. After having been inspired by the power of art for change, students created the following compelling works.
