Art is a universal and necessary language for everyone, and today we were able to explore that from many different points of view. However, students often feel discouraged to seek a profession in an art field. Throughout our interviews at the St. Mark's Campus art auction --A Vision for Art--, local artists recounted their personal findings and elaborated on the importance of art education. Our podcast shares those insights in the hopes of igniting new perspectives and value when considering art education.
In an effort to celebrate International Women's Month, we interviewed Izzy Joy to dissect the many layers of oppressing gender norms entangling fashion. This conversation led us to also discuss not only historical oppression women overcame but the prevalent forms of oppression that exist today despite the feminist movement growing stronger decade by decade.
