Dreamyard, an organization that collaborates with Bronx youth, families and schools to build pathways to equity and opportunity through the arts, hosted a gathering for Social Justice Artist Educators. This event was part of a 3 part series of events hosted in the Bronx by different cultural organizations to connect the NYU community with arts-based initiatives and organizers that was funded as part of NYU/Steinhardt’s Diversity Innovation Grants. Dreamyard teaching artists hosted brainstorming and discussion sessions talking about teacher super powers and how we engage our students. Participants had a chance to partner across different organizations to learn about different approaches to social justice art education, and then had a chance to make original bags and wearable pins inspired by social justice warriors from the past and present.
