EXPLORE COLLEGE LIFE at COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY

Join with your peers to dialogue, connect, and create a MURAL based on your story, your community, and your dreams for a socially just future.

This summer institute will teach basic social justice concepts and advocacy through the arts. Participants will collaborate with renowned Washington D.C. based mural artist Rose Jaffe, CSU faculty and students and community educators through team building, intercultural dialogue, nurturing individual and collective voice, and fostering communication across differences.

Students can expect to engage in hands-on learning in storytelling, movement and dance, image theatre, designing and painting, writing, and film/video. Once installed on the CSU campus, the mural will be permanently installed in your own community, facilitated by YOU – the student muralists. The mural will circulate to the different communities of student muralists to foster dialogue about art and social justice.
