Facilitator: Nawal Rajeh , PhD Candidate, Carter School Co-founder and Community Builder at By Peaceful Means

The importance of art in our field is everywhere. We can close our eyes and see a piece of visual art that reminds us of our “why”- whether it be a Banksy piece in Syria or a photograph from Selma. Applied Theatre is a powerful art form that can help us to more deeply discuss oppression, conflict, peace and justice– and it is not for trained actors but for all of us! Come and experience an accessible, inviting and new way to enter into conversation about our field- our theories, our practice- and our hopes for the future of our work.
