Projects A-E is an exhibition emerging out of the Art and Social Justice Working Group launched by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics and A Blade of Grass. This one day exhibition is developed in response to the ideas and perspectives shared in the working group and includes commissioned works by: Nobutaka Aozaki, Gabriela Ceja & Fran Ilich, Gordon Hall, The Rare Breed Collective, and Liz Slagus & Norene Leddy. The Art and Social Justice Working Group is an informal, fluctuating group of artists, curators and other arts practitioners. The group met periodically over the past 18 months to examine core conflicts that propel, enrich, and complicate artistic efforts that assume agency to enact social change. The host organizations for the group are dedicated to supporting individuals in pursuit of the intersection of art and social justice through programs and scholarship. Participating artists were commissioned to develop artworks in response to the ideas and perspectives shared at working group gatherings.
