AAIR 2024-2024 Residency | September 2024- May 2025
Open to emerging or early-career activist|artists whose creative expression and activism is focused on communal impact and social change — and those who live in the Pomona Valley and/or Inland Valley.
The AAIR program invites one local activist | artist per academic year to be in collaboration with the Pitzer College Art Galleries and Community Engagement Center at the College. The purpose of the program is to provide opportunities for creative and pedagogical engagement between the AAIR and the Pitzer community at large. The activist | artist actively promotes interdisciplinary platforms of exchange — facilitating dialogue, sharing knowledge and skills, and generating impactful experiences.
A creative practitioner with experience in the intersection of activism and the arts, the AAIR will collaborate with partners on campus (students, staff, and faculty), and community partners in the field. Additionally, the AAIR will act as a resource for partnered academic courses at the College.
