Community Wise! An Art Exhibition and Fish Bowl Conversation
February 9, 2017 - 4:00pm to 6:00pm
Join the SSW Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee for a celebration of Community Wise, an intervention designed to reduce substance use for those with histories of incarceration. Community Wise employs Paulo Freire's critical consciousness theory; inspired by pictographs Freire used to engage his research participants.
Grounded in Community-Based Participatory Research, Community Wise has commissioned six paintings by artist Christopher A. Burkle. Publicly exhibited for the first time in the Midwest, these paintings will stimulate a discussion on how we can all develop anti-oppressive thinking and action. Presenters include:
Rogério M. Pinto, Associate Professor of Social Work, University of Michigan
Liliane Windsor, Assistant Professor of Social Work, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Warren Thompson, Program Director, Urban Renewal Community Corrections
Eric Anderson, Newark Community Collaborative Board Member
