Art + Economic Justice

The relationship of art and economics is continuously evolving, and the recent economic downturn has provoked and heightened social inequalities. New artwork and movements have emerged to fight for change and chronicle this upheaval.

The Art + Economic Justice collection features projects from Animating Democracy's Profiles as well as new work of the 99% movement. These projects range from a conversation on art and economic theory to theater productions that inspire audiences to think critically and act on social inequities. We invite you to peruse the projects featured here that delve into an array of issues from a variety of perspectives.
