Join award-winning arts educator Alisha Mernick to learn how centering cultural heritage in our classrooms leads to a more embodied liberation from eurocentricity in art education. Participants will learn about the unique values and ideologies embedded in Iranian arts and culture, and consider how every educator draws upon cultural funds of knowledge to inform our pedagogy and teaching practice.
The Educator Speaker Series invites K-12 teachers to present on crucial topics in art education that center on criticality and social justice.
