The Butterfly Effect: Activism & Transformation through the Arts, an Evening with Favianna Rodriguez
VAPAE | 7 p.m., Glorya Kaufman Hall
The UCLA Visual and Performing Arts Education (VAPAE) Program hosts this free public event to discuss art, education and social change in schools and communities.
The monarch butterfly is a symbol Favianna Rodriguez has used throughout much of her activism and art work, serving as a representation of crossing of borders and the beauty of migration. Illuminating Favianna’s personal and artistic mission, which is to inspire social and political change through art, cultural organizing, and technology, her presentation will offer new ideas pertaining to how we speak about, write about, and create around issues of migration and social engagement.
The community arts gallery display set up before the event, and the panel discussion and audience Q&A following Favianna's keynote will both further expand upon, explore, and represent these key topics.
VAPAE presents this event in collaboration with the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance, UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, UCLA Art & Global Health Center, UCLA Center for Community Schooling, and the Fowler Museum at UCLA. This event is sponsored by the UCLA Office of Interdisciplinary & Cross Campus Affairs."
