Mural Arts Philadelphia is hosting a virtual event: “Standing Rock: Decolonizing Creative Practice within Environmental Justice” on January 21, 2021 from 5:30PM-6:30PM EST.
Join us for a conversation exploring the role of creative practice within contemporary resistance movements around environmental justice.
Join us for a conversation with first-generation anti-colonial scholar Jaskiran Dhillon as we explore the centrality of Indigenous knowledge and resistance in shaping our collective future. Water protectors at Standing Rock shifted the entire discourse of the environmental justice movement. What role do creative practices play in contemporary resistance movements around environmental justice?
This program is presented by the Mural Arts Institute, through the Arts + Environment Capacity Building Initiative, and in partnership with the Environmental Justice Department at Mural Arts Philadelphia.
The Mural Arts Institute is supported by The JPB Foundation, The Kresge Foundation, and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
