Collective Intervention: Understanding Appalachia Through Artist-Led Political Mobilization Abroad
Iceland, Brazil, Panama, Mongolia
I hope to visit artists and artist collectives in communities that face similar challenges to those faced by individuals in rural communities throughout my home state of Kentucky. I will learn and participate in their artistic traditions, and reach a greater understanding of how creative individuals can engage their communities and transform the political through the artistic.
