ARTS TOWARD SOCIAL JUSTICE
It is said that everyone dies twice…
Once when you physically die…
The second is the last time anyone utters your name…
What can any one person do to make a difference… to enact positive change?
Artists have a creative advantage.
We have a command of the visual world.
We make things.
