ABOUT THE RACIAL JUSTICE INSTITUTE VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM: The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC is excited to partner with Bergen Family Center’s successful “Racial Justice Institute” program, which raises awareness around the issues of racial justice in our community. BFC social workers lead discussions on issues with middle school and high school students. Students will create visual art pieces as a means of creative self-expression of these pertinent discussions. The program will culminate with an end-of-year art installation event. Taught by bergenPAC teaching artist Derick Cross.
Contact Teresa Tamayo at ttamayo@epsd.org for more details.
The program takes place every Tuesday from 11am to 1:30pm and 2:30 to 4pm at Janis Dismus Middle School, with a culminating art gallery sharing event at the shadowboxes alongside the ShopRite in Englewood in May 2023.
