The 2024 Art Education Speaker Series is pleased to welcome Dave Eassa and Dr. Carissa DiCindio.
Rethinking Art Museums and Their Communities through Exploration
Using a framework of museum ecology, DiCindio will discuss how exploration inside and around art museums can help us to interrogate the relationships between art museums and their communities. She will share strategies for bridging art museums with their communities from both the perspectives of art museum educators and collaborators, including PK-12 and community art educators.
Mise-en-place
Can art center care? Can artists? For yourself? For others? Can we all move forward together?
Eassa will discuss his studio practice over the last decade centering community while moving through mediums of painting, sculpture, people. From the studio, to the prison system, the museum world, and in the Middle East, art and skateboarding have been tools to build, nourish, and strengthen relationships between real people. Eassa’s practice encourages individual and collective empowerment through participation in arts experiences.
