About

How can a social justice approach drive real change in arts education and society? An inspiring evening to discover innovative projects relating to inclusivity and diversity. For the past two years, the Social Justice & Diversity in the Arts (SJDA) research group, founded at the Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK), has developed projects and research exploring what it means to ‘move in socially just ways’ in and through creative practices: From creating inclusive spaces for dance students to finding wisdom in Black and migrant barbershops, founding a protest choir, developping a teaching module, and understanding gentrification from a migrant community perspective. Celebrate SJDA’s 2nd anniversary with us on Wednesday, September 4th, at 19:30 (doors open at 19:00). The evening will feature a keynote by decolonial thinker Professor Rolando Vázquez (University of Amsterdam), presentations, performances, and the launch of SJDA’s new publication. This publication, reflecting on impactful projects and research approaches, will be available for €9, with a special student price of €4.50. Program highlights: - Introduction: Aminata Cairo and Rosa te Velde will discuss SJDA’s work and its impact, through a recorded video. - Keynote: Professor Rolando Vázquez (University of Amsterdam) will reflect on the significance of SJDA’s initiatives. - Live Poetry: Paulina Trejo Méndez will present a live poetic exploration of SJDA’s philosophy. - Performances: Dance performance & resistance songs. - Project Showcases: Short videos will offer a glimpse into creative research and artistic practices. - Q&A Session: SJDA researchers will share their experiences and engage with the audience. Note: Due to personal circumstances, Aminata Cairo cannot join the program in person. Her contribution will be in digital form.
