• Look at artists in Perez, Ch 6: Face, Heart. Pick the artwork that speaks to you most. Learn about it and tell us. Bring in something about it from the web.
What sort of “art” is protest? How do social movements create culture? Which social movements do you know the most about? Which ones would you like to learn more about? Which arts have engaged the feminist issues you care about most? How do you know? How is women’s studies involved?
From Reed 2005: xiii (display shape is mine): "This book hopes to prove useful to three main types of readers.
= For students and general readers new to the subject, it presents an introduction to social movements through the rich, kaleidoscopic lens of artistic and cultural expression.
= For scholars of social movements, it offers intriguing observations on particular movements and useful insights into various ways to think about the relations between culture and social change.
= For activists, it seeks to offer inspiration and a tool kit of ideas about how art and culture can further social movement goals.
These three sets of readers overlap, of course, in the form of scholar activists or activist students, but to the extent that they sometimes speak different languages, or have different interests, I hope that each type of reader will be patient when encountering portions of chapters that may speak more clearly to another of these audiences. Finding a style equally appropriate to all has been my goal, but no doubt I have not always succeeded."

What ARE these "social movements? Reed calls them (xiii) "the unauthorized, unofficial, anti-institutional, collective action of ordinary citizens trying to change their world...." (xiv): "...'progressive' social movements like the ones at the heart of this book have been crucial in taking the important but vague and unfulfilled promises of 'freedom' and 'democracy' announced in the [American] revolution's best known manifesto, the Declaration of Independence, and given them more reality, more substance, and wider applicability to the majority of people -- women, people of color, the poor -- who were initially excluded from those promises.... Movements, in contrast to their tamer, more institutionalized cousins, political parties and lobbyists, seek to bring about social change primarily through the medium of 'repeated public displays,' or, as I would put it, through dramatic action." (xvi-xv): "...as centrally important as dramatic, public action has been to social movements, it is by no means the totality of their activity, or the sole source of their impact...dramatic actions are themselves the products of usually rather undramatic, mundane daily acts of preparation...the impact of dramatic moments is only as great as the follow-up forms of daily organizing that accompany them...dramatic movement events happen in other, less celebrated spaces, including apartment living rooms, academic offices, and classrooms."

From the Washington Post, 2 March 2012: C1, C5 [italics mine]: "An orchestra as an agent of feminist change? ....'On the surface of it, it seems quite off-mission,' says Marin Alsop, the BSO’s music director (and known to far too many simply as 'the woman conductor'). ...'What's going on is a role change,' Rosen says. 'Orchestras are looking at themselves as being responsible citizens in their communities.... WoW is not setting out to reform orchestras -- only, modestly, all of society.... And it's not a bad idea to turn discussions of change into a celebration. 'Having fun,' Kelly says, 'is a good way to convince people that changing the world is quite a nice thing to do.'"

From Sweet Honey's website: "Founded by Bernice Johnson Reagon in 1973 (with Mie, Carol Maillard and Louise Robinson) at the D.C. Black Repertory Theater Company, Sweet Honey In The Rock, internationally renowned a cappella ensemble, has been a vital and innovative presence in the music culture of Washington, D.C., and in communities of conscience around the world."

"Take Five -- DR. YSAYE BARNWELL
What the Lyrics of Spirituals Have Told Us, Then and Now
Dr. Barnwell explores what the lyrics of spirituals have to tell us about the African experience in American history. What is the African world view? What was the relationship between African religions and Christianity? What were the activities of daily life? Was it better to remain
enslaved or to risk escaping from slavery? And when and how could you
escape? What does it mean to be bought and sold? How do you remember "home?"
What were the strategies for survival? What gives you empowerment and
hope? And what is the meaning of death?" ===
