One of my amazing supporters is completing a degree in art education and for her dissertation she is doing research on artists that address violence against women. She has included me along with several amazing artivists from around the world, yes, the world! Yesterday, we had the honor of having a group zoom call where we were able to meet one another and discuss our work. We are all from different parts of the world, different backgrounds, different ethnicities, and different experiences. But we all have something in common, we are all using our passions of creation to bring awareness to violence against women. We are sculptors, documentarians, illustrators, filmmakers, curators, tattoo artists, the list goes on! We are now able to make connections and work together to pull inspiration and strength from one another. Thank you to our amazing supporter who has chosen to shine a light on violence against women through her dissertation and for bringing us all together! Without you, this would not be possible! Here’s to a lifetime of creating change in the world and empowering women! #vaw #violenceagainstwomen #dissertation #artivists #stopvictimblaming #empowerment #empoweringwomen #hearusroar #badass #unstoppable #internationalartists #wegotthis #connection #community #domesticviolence #activism https://www.instagram.com/p/CViNj-hrvee/?utm_medium=tumblr

What a Homeland Is: Six AAPI Artists from the Collection | The Art Institute of Chicago

When I started working in the museum's Arts of Asia department a year ago, I was thrilled to care for an expansive collection that connects with my cultural heritage and the place of my birth for the first time in my career.

Throughout my research, I encountered many remarkable artworks—many rarely displayed due to their sensitive media—and discovered great nuance and variety in the way the artists employed art as a tool to illuminate their individual and shared cultural experiences. With that in mind, I am eager to share works by six of these artists, whose works come from the departments of Photography and Media, Prints and Drawings, and Modern and Contemporary Art.

Zine project showcases art made by incarcerated youth

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA) – The Sam M. Walton Business Communication Lab offered a writing workshop to the incarcerated youth at the Washington County Juvenile Detention Center. The partnership is giving these students a chance to showcase their best abilities on paper – mixing creativity and inspiration by creating zines- a unique way of storytelling.

From writing about sports to cosmetics to Youtube – students at the Washington County Juvenile Detention Center spent part of their summer putting pen to paper. “It’s really just a way for students to tell their stories in their own words in their own way,” Jessi Schnebelen said.

Schnebelen is the Asst. Director of the Walton Business Communication Lab and helps the students create zines as a way to express themselves as part of a new writing workshop. “Hopefully, we were able to empower them in a way so they can do things like apply for jobs or get a GED, catch up on their own school work and eventually apply for college,” Schnebelen said.

It started as a volunteer opportunity for Schnebelen at the detention center but became a partnership between her and teacher Josh Moody. “The more aware they are that there’s a community that’s investing in them, the more they’ll invest in their community,” Moody said.

Moody says this was just one of many programs they’ve put on for the kids with the community’s help – teaching them that what they’re going through now is just a chapter in their book of life. “There are a lot of good kids that make a lot of mistakes,” Moody said. “I just hope the community is aware that it’s not time to throw away the keys on these kids. Do not give up on them,” Moody said.
