Building on a large urban district’s professional development work to support arts educators’ awareness of their racial identity, we examine how the CRP perpetuates whiteness in K–12 arts classrooms, ultimately maintaining racial inequality. Our research addresses the following question: How do markers of identity, like race, intersect with CRP in K–12 arts classrooms? Our findings contribute to literature on antiracist arts education.","PeriodicalId":45648,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Art Education","volume":"53 1","pages":"181 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75560775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the National Art Education Association (NAEA) has harnessed the energy surrounding collective organizing and protesting into conversations about racism that are part of producing socially just possibilities using art and education. NAEA highlights racism as discriminatory and exclusionary, as well as a practice that is normalized, institutionalized, and systematized for the benefit of one group over another, with narratives and images that support its painful fictions (Rolling, 2020a; Rolling & Bey, 2016). Critical race theory is the main framework associated with these conversations. Introduced in the 1970s, critical race theory was developed by legal scholars and others to further understand why race-based oppression and White privilege continue to exist, and how the law could serve emancipatory actions and change. They point to how race is socially constructed, made normal, used to exploit and oppress people of color, and functions to create inequities (Price, 2010). Moreover, they address intersectionality, structural injustices, hate crimes, and voting rights, among other issues, and how placing people in racial categories has material effects in relation to power and wealth (Nash, 2003). In using critical race theory for insights into racism, scholars connect race to diverse discursive concepts with cultural representations of race, and they use narrative or counterstory to question the status quo and rework racialized injustice. They also encourage teachers and students, among others, to be aware of their privileges, biases, beliefs, values, stories, and the stereotypes that they hold, so they can understand how this affects the work that they do and how they interact in the world (Desai, 2010; Kraehe et al., 2018; Lee & Lutz, 2005; Rolling, 2020a, 2020b; Rolling & Bey, 2016).","PeriodicalId":45648,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Art Education","volume":"12 1","pages":"251 - 260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81152814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By expanding on the concepts of Black compositional thought and wake work, I illuminate an assembly of metaphors and materialities, working collectively to articulate the overall, ongoing condition and circumstance of Black life as a predictable and constitutive aspect of existing in the shadows of antiblack violence. Juxtaposing Torkwase Dyson’s aesthetic practice in concert with Christina Sharpe’s theorization of reading metaphors of Black life in diaspora (the wake, the ship, the hold, the weather), I expose how creative production and Black consciousness serve as tools for refusing “death” and offer possibilities for living.","PeriodicalId":45648,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Art Education","volume":"12 1","pages":"113 - 131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80895897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As COVID-19 moves into an endemic phase and art educators shift their practice toward embracing the principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and access (EDIA), the California Art Education Association (CAEA) has taken bold action to confront contemporary challenges.

Drawing from a Black feminist outsider-within positionality framework, their shared stories reveal how Black women art educators are unprivileged insiders within their schools and outsiders to a social system that privileges White people as the dominant group in art education. Outsider-within positionality is foundational in providing a platform for revealing the exclusion of Black women’s identities in White spaces. A Black feminist approach to narrative inquiry is a crucial methodology in identifying why Black women matter in art education. Their interviews expose the experiences of racist obstacles that hinder their progress as art educators. As a result, approaches to implementing gender equity with antiracist strategies are presented for an inclusive and safe environment for Black women art educators and create a critical dialogue in art education at large.","PeriodicalId":45648,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Art Education","volume":"7 1","pages":"219 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79451754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I describe a campus gallery exhibition I organized in 2016 around the theme of White affect, and I make connections between expressions of rage, anguish, and reasonableness on the part of White people within White-dominated institutions of art and education, before considering what possibilities and difficulties may exist for leading substantive classroom discussions and projects that engage explicitly with race generally, and Whiteness in particular.","PeriodicalId":45648,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Art Education","volume":"49 1","pages":"198 - 218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80997661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lewis and Peter B. Hyland introduce a process of studioing, which revives a relationship between the art studio and the act of study with the writing of experimental protocols. They describe the process as an indeterminate ritualistic practice and experience of moving with thought, play, and experimentation without predetermined functions, outcomes, or disciplinary boundaries. Studious Drift emerged from a series of in-person and online events, where participants critically experimented with contemporary education’s neoliberal logics, which the authors explain have been exacerbated by the expansion of digital learning platforms, e-learning, and online education. In March 2020, Lewis and Hyland opened the Studio-D Project, Education as Experimentation: Possibilities Beyond Outcomes-Based Learning, which was an online project that paired teams of artists, scholars, and educators to design experimental protocols that became accessible for public activation. The book and larger project contribute to a movement of international scholars, artists, educators, and activists using creative, conceptual, experimental, and experiential approaches to disrupt habituated institutional and educational norms through collective action (Harney & Moten, 2013; Illich, 1972; Madoff, 2009; Ouwens et al., 2020; Stein & Miller, 1970/2016; Thorne, 2016).

Created to employ artists during the Great Depression under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, goals of FAP programs included creating a national identity in the arts through cultural production, and developing individual consumers of art who would continue the support after government programs had ended. Another motivation for these programs was created in the spirit of progressivism. Thus, by incorporating art into the community, artists and organizers reenvisioned how citizens could interact with art through active engagement by developing studio experiences, art exhibitions, and community programming. The programs were conceived in direct contrast to established museums as new organizations developed with the communities they were designed to reach.","PeriodicalId":45648,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Art Education","volume":"38 6","pages":"40 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72492527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
