❓Can art help bridge culture, race and social gaps?
💯 🔊Sheri Parks talks about the pervasiveness and power of "everyday art" specifically in poorer African-Amercian communities, its function as tool for emotional survival, cultural empathy and social change.
👩🏾🎓📃 Sheri Parks is a noted public intellectual and academic currently at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her expertise is “Ordinary Aesthetics” aka. art that everyone engages with all the time: music, dance, crafts, even TV.
🌷 She studies the ways in which people find and create meaning and beauty in their everyday lives, with specific emphasis on race, gender, social class and sexuality. She hopes that if we can learn about and understand each other through art, then we can build stronger relationships, cultivate empathy, and heal divide.
🌟 💡Here's a thought provoking conversation that once more challenges the idea of what Art is, who gets to engage with it, and what it can do for us.
