Power and Control: Responding to Social Injustice with Photographic Memes
Arlington, Amanda K.
Art Education, v71 n6 p51-58 2018
Do social justice issues get swept under the rug due to formal curriculum demands and discomfort with topics such as racism, sexism, and homophobia? In the United States, 50.5% of students are students of color (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2017) and by the year 2026, students of color will represent 55% of all students (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2017). These statistics cite an imperative to enact culturally relevant pedagogy in the classroom (Ladson-Billings, 1995, 2014). Many of the author's students were feeling dejected after the 2016 election because of the racism professed in the Trump Campaign. They wanted a way to respond. This article describes a No Place for Hate installation in the school to protest un-American values such as bigotry, racism, misogyny, homophobia, and other social justice topics.
