DESCRIPTION:Diverse social and political initiatives were rallying points for 
 Berkeley's free speech/civil rights movement fifty years ago. Today, the 
 work of pioneering methods for working in diverse communities continues. 
 Brett Cook will share extraordinary examples of socially engaged education 
 including his current Reflections of Healing/Life is Living/Oakland Museum 
 of California projects. Participants in this dialogue will model inherently 
 revolutionary ideas about what the practice of art can be, its societal 
 benefits, and how it can be a force for intellectual discovery and social 
 change. Through the exploration of progressive educational philosophies, 
 liberation pedagogy, and contemplative exercises participants will reflect 
 upon their own identity within artworks and community celebrations that 
 express a variety of social and aesthetic positions.\n\nCook is an artist 
 and educator, who uses his creative practice and to transform outer and 
 inner worlds of being. His museum work features multimedia installations 
 that make intimately personal experiences universally accessible. His 
 public projects typically involve community workshops featuring 
 arts-integrated pedagogy and performance to create a fluid boundary between 
 art making, daily life, and healing. He has received numerous awards, 
 including the Lehman Brady Visiting Professorship at Duke University and 
 the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Richard C. 
 Diebenkorn Fellowship at the San Francisco Art Institute. In 2009, he 
 published Who Am I In This Picture: Amherst College Portraits with Wendy 
 Ewald. Cook was selected as cultural ambassador to Nigeria as part of the 
 U.S. Department of State's 2012 smARTpower Initiative. His work is in 
 private and public collections including the Smithsonian/National Portrait 
 Gallery, the Walker Art Center, and Harvard University.  He is a 2014 A 
 Blade of Grass Fellow for Socially Engaged Art.\n
