Race Relations through the Arts

Over the course of six weeks the Spring 2009 R & R Reading Group, instead of focusing on a single book, will explore messages of race relations in the United States as represented in the arts. The Arts encompasses visual arts, literature, the performing arts, including music, drama, film, dance and related media, and by some definitions other areas such as fashion.  Art often speaks louder than words and taps into emotions that are not always easily expressed.

Join Us!

This group is open to faculty and staff members of Calvin College. Meeting over lunch on Tuesdays 12:00-1:30 pm, the group will listen to music, watch DVDs, read poetry, and discuss select written works.  While not required, members of the group will be encouraged to attend several artistic performances on campus which celebrate and examine Race Relations in the United States. To join contact Ebonie Atkins 616.526.7598.
