Contemporary visual artists address the complexity of identity and tell stories as individuals and members of communities and social groups from across different positions of power, privilege, and oppression. We will connect visual storytelling to the work of teaching - looking at how educators tell stories through curriculum, elicit stories from their students, and co-construct narratives about the world and our place in it.
