EP 63 - Marissa Gutiérrez-Vicario on Art and Social Change

Conversations from the Leading Edge

During the difficult times we’ve been living, facing the pandemic, racism, and socioeconomic distress, art rises as a breath of fresh air, at times translating what we have difficulty putting into words, at times, magnifying social and racial issues that can no longer remain overlooked, but always a powerful tool to process reality. In this episode we talk to Marissa Gutiérrez-Vicario, the Founder and Executive Director of Art and Resistance Through Education (ARTE), an organization that helps young people amplify their voices and organize for human rights change in their communities through the arts. We explore the role of art as an educational process, as a social struggle tool, and we talk about how you can begin to explore the creation of art yourself.
