Teaching Children About Racial Justice >>


Teaching Children About Racial Justice, curated by Rhode Island School of Design graduate Kyung Eun Lee, examines the unique ways we can gain a more profound understanding of racial equity and foster meaningful conversation with children and families. The exhibit features artists whose work includes paintings, photographs, mixed media, and sculptures that reflect on education and justice in today’s youth generation. Curator Kyung Eun Lee observes that “open dialogue and validation of children’s experiences is a vital step in encouraging honest, positive change in both ourselves and our communities.” Her curatorial vision focused on “harnessing the power of creativity to generate a varied discourse and inspire meaningful reflection among public audiences.”
