This exciting video conference will connect students with several young artists from a variety of conflict settings in the Middle East to discuss the significance of resistance art in the context of conflict. We will explore how the visual arts have been used as a means of witnessing conflict experience and also what can be accomplished by artists who produce pieces that are a witness to conflict and oppression. The cost per class for this one-part conference is $100 US/CAD
