Art Justice Project

On May 13, 2021, the Center launched an online art exhibition titled, Un/Equal Freedoms: Expressions for Social Justice. The exhibition is free to the public. It contains 32 works created by professional and emerging artists, 25 from the Sacramento Region, 7 from Sacramento State. Various artistic mediums are represented, including digital and mixed media, sculpture, painting, poetry, dance, spoken word, oral history, and print.

The online exhibition also contains 31 written reflections by scholars, artists and social justice activists. Twenty-one faculty from various academic departments at Sacramento State, and 10 activists from the Sacramento Region wrote these reflections, expressing their commitment to social justice. The reflections disseminate critical knowledge about the various themes found in the artworks. Almost all reflections were composed in collaboration with the artists, reinforcing the Center’s effort to build solidarity between people situated differently across the university and the community.
