Social justice mural making

Our mural team will be completing a series of 3 mural panels that will be placed on the uOttawa campus in the Spring of 2022. We are meeting with our mural committee in February to finalize the design of the panels, and plan to push things forward in March, April, and May. Our motivation is to create more artwork on campus that can provide solidarity for students and educators after a time of great difficulties. We also plan to infuse our shared values into the design of our murals, which means representing diversity and expressing a sense of hope for the future.

Social justice Art[s] Education webinars 

The style of social justice art can range from picture books, digital and physical artworks to large scale murals. Any artwork that attempts to raise awareness of an issue or send an important message about equity can act as a force for positive change. Artists play an important role in deciding on the shared values of our local community and our society at large. By showing our leadership within the community, and as educators, we are ready to make a difference and create change. 

You can see examples of some social justice artwork below.
