Cultural Appropriation in the Art Room

In this episode Corbie & Kaitlyn open up the worm hole of cultural appropriation as two white teachers. They discuss inappropriate art projects that might still be happening in the art room and ways to shift proactively in order to stop cultural approriation.

They discuss ways to amplify marginilized voices as teachers, and reflect and put into action more projects that call for response rather than copying or recreating.

It wouldn't be an episode without additional resources! They share ideas teachers might be interested in if they want to continue to do more work on developing a culturally responsive pedagogy that moves away from cultural approriation.
