How do the arts, broadly defined, impact the way people understand, remember, and engage with past and present conflict and human rights abuses? What is the role of artistic activism in fomenting and supporting democratic processes and the prevention of future atrocity? How can artistic activism intervene quickly and effectively into crises that are urgent and yet still evolving, including cultures of violence and corruption, environmental catastrophe, and the global refugee crisis?
In partnership with the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation, the Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory Graduate Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Arizona brings together innovative scholars from across the critical humanities and social sciences for a series of transdisciplinary conversations.
