an making art change our communities? We know in our bones that it does, but articulating how can be challenging. How can creativity promote social justice? Consider this:
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality,” wrote Buckminster Fuller. “To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Socrates said something similar: “The secret of change is to focus your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
Do you think art can be an agent for social change?
