Be an anti-racist artist! Have fun with creative projects that empower you to use your art, actions, and words to create meaningful change. Start your anti-racist art-making journey by defining ideas like race, racism, and anti-racism. Dive into six sections, beginning with self-reflection before seeking justice and taking action!

Culture - Your way of life and honoring what others value about theirs. Make a textile design inspired by your home and culture. Community - Connecting to people and places. Challenge your implicit biases and discover how to draw diverse people. Empathy - Understanding others and having compassion. Learn the meaning of equity by solving real-world math problems with art. Justice - Making a society that is fair for all. Create a miniature billboard that comments on a social issue. Activism - Creating change and transforming our communities. Mail a postcard to a politician that informs them of what you would like to see change. Activities include designing a community mural, making postcards to send to local politicians, organizing people to make a positive change, and more! As you work through the pages and explore the many parts of being an anti-racist artist, you will learn various art-making skills and engage with different materials such as paint, clay, textiles, and recycled materials. This book is just a starting point, and the possibilities are endless. There is no limit to your imagination and your impact!
