This book provides theoretical and practical resources for teachers and students, including educators' perspectives on contemporary art, multicultural education, and teaching in today's classroom; writings on over 50 contemporary artists and images of their works; as well as lesson plans for using art to explore topical issues such as activism and democracy, conflict: local and global, and history and historicism. A collaboration of over one hundred artists, writers, curators, and educators from in and around the contemporary art world, this book offers materials that challenge the normative practices of arts education and traditional art history. It builds upon the pedagogy of the original volume Contemporary Art and Multicultural Education to present new possibilities and modes of understanding art, culture, and their relationships to students and ourselves.
