About the Theme
Diversity is built into the design of things, difference contributes beauty and complexity to life. Yet ethnicity, politics, religion, and culture increasingly are the cause of profound divisions in our world. What do we do with the things that set us apart?
The Art for Change International Residency will explore the reality, challenges, aesthetics, and possibilities of ‘difference,’ in the artist’s life and in a local context—with global implications. How does art make sense of difference? What divides and connects us as human beings? What is the potential for art and artist as bridge?’
