A Life's Work
March 1-3, 2012
"It's always free, there's always food, and conversation is at the heart of it." Professor Erik Ehn
Planning is underway for our seventh annual Arts in the One World Conference. This year's events coincide with the Rhythm of Change Festival hosted by the Mande Dance Class.
Our theme this year is A Life’s Work: art making as the center of one’s life; one’s art as a life in civics. We are looking at art-in-the-prisons for best practices); living a long time – how 2 build a system, open theaters, create network.
AOW is an annual gathering; this is our seventh convening. We draw together students, faculty, practitioners and activists across disciplines, from immediate and international
communities, framing presentations and conversations open to the school and the general public. We explore various ways artistic, political, and historical purposes intersect (through reconciliation, the recovery of historical memory, and advocacy for justice).
