Consider how art can be used to address challenging issues such as antisemitism, racism, and other forms of prejudice and bias. In this full-day workshop, educators will view a short documentary film and engage in discussions around works of art by Trenton Doyle Hancock, Kehinde Wiley, and more. Participants will also respond to contemporary issues through art and writing activities.

During this one-day camp at the Jewish Museum, students from grades 6 through 8 will explore documentary film, storytelling, art, and identity.
