In this fifth episode, we discuss the necessity of activism for social justice and social equality in our daily lives. If you want to be an active citizen and wonder how you can effect positive change in your community, tune in for our conversation with art dealer and activist Roland Augustine. His actions are an example of how positive change in social justice comes through serious and consistent advocacy. Be an Advocate: Civic engagement means becoming an advocate for social equality and social justice. It can begin at the most basic level such as your town or school. You can give hands-on support and/or money to a cause that is important to you. Consistent and rigorous advocacy creates more knowledge and inspire change. Art Matters: The visual arts can effectively transform one’s thinking. There are many powerful works of art, from paintings to monuments, that serve as beautiful and potent reminders of inhumanity in our collective history. Use your voice: Our silence on the world’s humanitarian crises is deafening. Use your voice in your community to start a conversation about what we can do right now.
