Brandi Stanley, Master's candidate in the International and Intercultural Communication program at the University of Denver, has launched a new blog, called social he(art), at http://socialheartblog.com.
Pairing social justice with art, the social he(art) blog acts as a forum featuring artists of varying mediums of visual art (painting, photography, design, etc.) who support social justice. Either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, social he(art) will feature a new artist who approaches their work with a heart for story. social he(art) seeks to provide an outlet for creative minds to meld, highlighting talented artists for their own publicity while working to further numerous causes. In addition, social he(art) will feature a page announcing activist-minded events around the world in order to further the interests of human rights organizations and non-profits, spreading word to the public and asking their attendance.
Please pass this information along to your listserv, as the blog encourages as many individuals as possible to send information in regarding artists and events pertaining to art and social justice within their own communities and social networks. This site should serve as a tremendous resource for both artists looking to publicize their work, as well as human rights- and social justice-related organizations looking to garner more support for their causes and fundraising events.
Please also feel free to pass a link to the blog, along with any of this information, along to contacts you or your students and faculty/staff might know within both artistic and social justice fields.
