Significant Spaces of Freedom Summer: Recognizing the Power of Community Art as the Inbetween
Abstract
During the 2014-15 academic year, Miami University celebrated the 50th anniversary of Freedom Summer with a plethora of events, exhibitions, and visual reminders of what it means to be called to action. As the university-wide theme, students, faculty, and staff became involved in a communal call to remember, reflect, and participate. The goal of this chapter is to describe how various communities came together to remember and celebrate an important part of local (and national) history through interwoven visual experiences and dialogue. The authors highlight several key art forms that took community members from a place of simple recall, to a more empathetic and compassionate space and attitude concerning events of Freedom Summer. The chapter consists of four examples of spaces that utilized different art forms: the individual/preparatory space, museum space, conference space, and experiential classroom space. Each section weaves through and around the idea of curriculum, communities present, the art form itself and implications for teaching, learning, and civic responsibility.
