A People´s Art History: Art and Social Change in the United States
Art has long been a tool for resistance and a way for communities to imagine change. This course explores an alternative history of American art — one shaped by activists, outsiders, and visionaries rather than galleries or markets.
Across eight sessions, we’ll look at how artists fueled movements from abolition and labor organizing to civil rights, feminism, AIDS activism, and today’s community‑based practices. No art history background needed — just curiosity.
Inspired by Nicolas Lampert’s A People’s Art History of the United States and Tom Finkelpearl’s What We Made, the course blends discussion, visual exploration, and collaborative activities to show how art becomes a catalyst for justice.
