EMORY ARTS & SOCIAL
JUSTICE
PROGRAM

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Arts and Social Justice Program at Emory University brings together artists and faculty to integrate creative expression into academic courses, using art as a tool to examine and address social inequities.

Through its fellowship component, Atlanta-based artists are paired with Emory faculty to co-teach classes, incorporating creative practices into the curriculum throughout the semester. The program also extends beyond the classroom, offering community programming that invites the broader public to engage in interactive arts activities focused on social justice initiatives in Atlanta.

HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM

Amid a groundswell of national attention to racial and social injustice, in the fall of 2020, Emory professors and students joined with Atlanta artists to explore how creative thinking and artistic expression can inspire change.

Throughout the past 5 years, the ASJ program has expanded beyond the classroom as it began new partnerships with Atlanta organizations and institutions, including the BeltLine, Midtown Alliance, and Spelman College.
