The Art of Cultural Awareness – Leah Maltbie

sealaska

This session will focus on discovering your own cultural awareness so that you can be more culturally aware with your students and people in your life. In this session we will work through the topics of teaching in a silo, the struggles of identity, decolonizing the art world, and appropriation vs appreciation (how to not be a cultural fool). All of the content in this class will be explored with and through the arts including journal exercises, sketching, a group mandala, and henna as an expressive art form.
