 About this Webinar

In this interactive session, participants will join a lively conversation between teaching artist, Jeannette Rodriguez Pineda, and researcher-writer, Dennie Palmer Wolf. Referencing Animating Democracy’s Aesthetic Perspectives framework, these two thinkers and activists will discuss key points from the Teaching Artist Companion to the framework, which they co-authored.  In the Companion, they explore how teaching artists introduce young people to the many ways in which the arts build identity, reclaim life narratives, raise questions, and speak out for social change. The session will feature visual arts work done with young women who are court involved and middle school classrooms where theater is a forum for out-loud empathy.

Learning Objectives:

  • Get an introduction to the framework, Aesthetic Perspectives: Attributes of Excellence in Arts for Change
  • Learn how the framework provides a powerful language for capturing and communicating the work of teaching artists
  • Experience how the framework can inform teaching artistry in fields as different as visual arts and theater
