Blog 7: Showcase Reflection

Rebel Artists in a Rebel City Showcase flyer Village Hall performers:(back, l-r) Blythe Sinclair, Katie Lawson-Gill, Abby Thompson, Gabi Piombo, Rachel Norling, and Tegan Stuart; (front, l-r) Ericka Lacsamana, Castro, and Franchesca Sablan  The showcase was an interesting experience for me. Having never done one before, I felt both nervous and excited in the days leading up to it. With my project focusing on education, I wanted to use my background and passion for early childhood education (ECE) to address how it affects a community. However, through the process of creating my project I found myself adding in the experience of immigration and how both topics are in relationship with each other. My past four years working in the ECE field (and my classes as a child psychology major) have taught me how important the first five years of a child’s life are. Everything they experience and learn are laying the foundation for their futures. In these four years I have also see...

Blog 3: Journey to Learn about Arts and Activism (Activist Interview)

Activist: Karl Kitching Reading Karl’s biography on the University College Cork website, it is easy to see that he has a passion for education. He has conducted his research around racism in Ireland (specifically with the school districts) and has published books relaying such information.

Blog 4: Arts Administration as Resistance

Image
If you had asked me a month ago what arts administration was, I would have shrugged my shoulders and said I didn’t know. However, after spending a month not only practicing various types of arts, but working within the various nooks and crannies of the art world, I not only know what it is but how important it is to artists and non artists alike. (Arts administration is business aspect of an art organization, by the way). Arts administration is just as important to a resistance movement as the product of art itself. Without the administration, access and attention toward art would be harder to get. With art, you are responding directly to a movement, with arts administration, you are facilitating the opportunity for such art to be received. After hearing Paul Casey talk about his work with O Bheal, I am left feeling interested and excited about the possibility of working in arts administration. There is something intriguing about not only being surrounded by art in its various forms, b...
