The Global Arts and Humanities Discovery Theme has awarded Prof. Kris Paulsen and her collaborators, Prof. Amy Youngs and Wexner Senior Curator Kelly Kivland, a $48,000 seed grant to support The Art, Technology, and Social Justice Micro-Residency Program. The project is a collaboration between the Department of History of Art, the Department of Art, The Wexner Center for the Arts, and the Translational Data Analytics Institute. 

The grant will bring artists and scholars working at the intersection of art, data, and social justice to campus for exhibitions, workshops, and public events. The guiding theme of the first set of residencies will be “Decolonializing Virtuality.” The micro-residency program will act as a cross-department platform to engage questions of technology and virtuality in relation to indigeneity, settler colonialism, displacement, migration, genocide, and environmental justice in our contemporary moment.

Congratulations from the department to all the collaborators on their award for this impressive interdisciplinary program!
