LOCAL>> Sharing Voice: Mentor Artists & Students Explore Identity

Youth in Arts Mentor Artists Austin Willacy and Shahrzad Khorsandi will be joined by two of their students to discuss how the arts help shape students’ sense of themselves.

Moderated by Aimee Espiritu.

Who am I? Where do I belong?
What role do I play?

Young people ask many important questions as they discover and craft their identities. At Youth in Arts, we believe in the power of the arts to help students explore their identity and community.

Please join us for this virtual discussion about how the arts can help shape students’ sense of themselves, within an arts ensemble and in their broader communities.

Austin and Shahrzad will be interviewed by two of their longtime students. Come hear how teaching artists are prioritizing investigation of voice and identity during these challenging times!

Hosted by Board Members Naomi Tamura and Suzanne Reich.

All proceeds benefit Youth in Arts.
