Art for Social Change Working Group

A group dedicated to exploring the intersection of art and activism ("artivism") to address a social issue relevant to social work practice. 

Art for Social Change Working Group (formerly known as the Anti-Oppression Working Group) is part of the NASW-Nebraska Chapter and is dedicated to using creativity as a transformative tool to challenge systemic oppression, spark important discussions, and foster social justice. This group believes that art, in its many forms, can be a powerful force for raising awareness and driving social change. Open to all social workers passionate about using their creative talents, expressions, and voices to promote equity, the group offers a unique opportunity to explore how artistic mediums can advance anti-oppressive practices and support vulnerable communities. Participants in this working group engage in workshops that explore new methods of creative expression, providing hands-on opportunities to learn and grow. The group also offers a platform to share artistic creations and a safe space for discussions about the role of creativity in advocating for social justice.
