HN 396L Radical Arts

Radical Arts reinforces the belief that cultural and creative expression can make an impact as a means to affect deep and lasting social change.  Philadelphia has a robust artistic community and a great many practitioners who are of Social Conscience.  Through the arts, we can challenge many of our society’s deepest assumptions and build upon the power of artistic creation and expression to spark new ideas, catalyze critical thinking, elicit new actions, inspire individuals and create visions for the future.  Students in this course will become practitioners, evaluators, partners and researchers in the areas covered in Radical Arts.  They will become partners (through a practicum experience) with a selected number of Fine and Performing Arts organizations whose mission is to use the fine and performing arts to practice social change.
