Course

Film, Media, and the Art of Social Change

Project

Carlton Mackey, director, Ethics & the Arts Program, Emory Center for Ethics, and Edward Queen, director, Ethics and Servant Leadership Program, Emory Center for Ethics, with Ash Nash, Founder/CEO, Power Haus Creative

Arts advocate/administrator Ash Nash has made a career of challenging systems and demanding systemic change through Atlanta’s arts industry in ways that directly, socially and economically impact underserved artists and communities. Nash, with Carlton Mackey and Edward Queen, developed a course examining film and other art-based mediums to explore the function of media in social change movements. Students moved between the classroom and working in creative teams to develop a short documentary for Atlanta non-profit, Gangstas to Growers.
