ArcheologyoftheSelf
withYolandaSealeyRuiz

Through what they teach, art teachers have a special opportunity to invite the culture of students into their classrooms. Art in its various forms, have always served as portals to conversations on culture, race, and their intersection. Individuals who develop racial literacy are able to engage in the necessary personal reflection about their racial beliefs and practices, and teach their students to do the same. Racial literacy in schools includes the ability to read, write about, discuss and interrupt situations and events that are motivated and upheld by racial inequity and  bias. Sustaining racial literacy across the life span is possible by engaging in an “Archeology of the Self” – an action-oriented process requiring love, humility, reflection, an understanding of history, and a commitment to working against racial injustice.
