Join artists and educators Nicole Marroquin and Malika Jackson for a virtual conversation about how art and community have empowered Chicago youth in social-political ways.
Learning Together exhibiting artist Nicole Marroquin’s practice examines the history of art and activism in Chicago’s student walkouts since the 1960s. Malika 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.
