Change Agents: Personal Art as Political Tactic March 25-April 30, 2016

What does it mean to be engaged, active, and awake to the world around you? Artists in Change Agents: Personal Art as Political Tactic address pressing social and political issues including racism, gender discrimination, environmental crisis, cultural tradition, media stereotypes, and other concerns through the lens of their own experiences. “The political” is not always what you would expect - within the work, there are voices of critique, uncertainty, humor, and hope.

Change Agents: Personal Art as Political Tactic was developed by a team of PEA student curators as a way to extend conversations on identity, social constructions, and political convictions, and to activate the gallery as a space for discussion and reflection. Carol Moore, Butterflies, Fireflies, and Helicopters
