Representation & Advocacy

Widening Our Apertures as Artists and Educators

Annie Jeng, chair

Similar to photography, if we widen our apertures for more exposure and depth in our understanding of the world around us, we can increase our ability to focus on what is uniquely important in our ever-evolving landscape. Through discussions of representation in literature and accessible instruments, cultural advocacy, trauma-informed pedagogy, community engagement, and more, we can allow more light into our minds for deeper connection and shared empathy within our communities.
