Program Description
Activists unite! Students will be presented with historical and contemporary artworks that advocate for social change and bring attention to local, national and global issues. Students will create a two-dimensional textile work that expresses a ‘call to action’ using recycled fabric, collage, fibre arts and hand sewing techniques.
Program Objectives
By the end of the Textile Arts – Changing the Social Fabric program, students will:
- Explore the effectiveness of public art as a tool to elicit social change while gaining an appreciation for the cultural context of each issue.
- Experiment with recycled fabrics, collage, fibre arts and hand sewing techniques.
- Produce a two-dimensional textile work based on a ‘call to action’ for social change.
