ITAC6

A participatory workshop that will have ITAC delegates in small story circles with a prompt to tell stories about how their work has addressed social justice or how and why the want it to. Story circles are a way to establish trust amongst collaborators and community partners. Atlanta, Georgia based transdisciplinary teaching artist, Jeff Mather, will share a method that was developed by New Orleans theater maker, John O’Neal, a co-founder of the community-based art for social justice organization in the southeastern US, Alternate ROOTS. ROOTS artists use the term, Learning Exchanges, as a non-hierarchical frame.
