Exhibiting Social Justice ft. Omar Eaton-Martinez | GOT TIME with Christopher John | S2E11

Описание: Exhibiting social justice involves using art, activism, and community engagement to address issues of inequality, identity, and environmental justice, fostering dialogue and awareness.

Exhibiting social justice through art and community engagement not only raises awareness of critical issues but also fosters empathy and understanding across diverse groups. By participating in art justice events and supporting relevant exhibitions, individuals can contribute to meaningful social change and advocate for a more equitable society.

In this episode Omar Eaton-Martinez joins Christopher John to explore how social justice is imagined, practiced, and sustained within museum spaces and far beyond their walls. Through this candid conversation centered on museum practitioners, scholars, artists, and community advocates, the episode examines the role of museums as sites of truth-telling, resistance, and transformation. Rooted in lived experience and critical inquiry, this episode invites viewers and listeners to rethink the power of museums as catalysts for social change and imagine what justice-centered storytelling can look like amid these challenging times.
