ARTS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
Arts for Social Justice - ASJ - is a collaborative, interdisciplinary initiative whose mission is to raise awareness about critical issues addressing the human condition. We foster dialogue and action in our community through the creation and participation in a wide variety of art forms.
The goal of ASJ is to engage our SCU community by presenting artistic projects that address important social justice issues that impact our community. As we explore subjects such as social inequality, homelessness, and economic disparity, we seek to bridge the gap between life at Santa Clara University and our surrounding communities.
Ultimately, we are asking the question, "How can I be a catalyst for change?"
"It is not enough to be Compassionate ... You Must Act."
