YOUTH BIAS TASK FORCE STUDENT ART EXHIBIT

NJ Division on Civil Rights partnership – Featured exhibition for this year’s ART ALL DAY / CICLOVIA event.

September 18  – October 9, 2021

In 1945, New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination became the first state-level civil rights statute in the country. The Division on Civil Rights is charged with enforcing this law, and with preventing and eliminating discrimination in the state of New Jersey.

 

Youth Bias Task Force

In October 2020, The Attorney General, Division on Civil Rights and other state agencies released the Youth Bias Task Force Report—a comprehensive review of how institutional bias continues to pervade New Jersey and impact young people across our state. The #CivilRightsNJ #StopTheHate report called for sweeping policy changes, including anti-bias training for NJ teachers, strengthening our state’s hate crime laws, and significant changes to classroom curricula. To encourage education and awareness of these issues in the population most impacted – youth — DCR launched the Youth Bias Task Force Student Competition encouraging youth under the age of 25 to submit a slogan/hashtag, artwork design, or video on the theme of #StopTheHate.

The winning designs were announced on April 28th, during the 75th Anniversary of the LAD event.  Winners’ designs will be used in a multimedia campaign to encourage residents to #StopTheHate in NJ and have the opportunity to participate in a roundtable discussion to share their experiences with hate, stereotyping, and bias, and what they think we should do better!

This exhibition, in partnership with ARTWORKS, showcases racial justice art pieces across four categories.

STRONGER TOGETHER: FROM SELF CARE TO COMMUNITY CARE

Inspired by the featured exhibition for this year’s ART ALL DAY / CICLOVIA event.

October 9, 2021

Join Artworks on Saturday, October 09, 2021 from 12 noon to 2:30 p.m. for an in-person workshop focused on community building by Artworks Trenton and inspired by DCR’s Youth Bias Task Force Artwork Display in the main gallery. This is a great opportunity to re-connect with the Mercer community.
 
 
This collaborative workshop, led by ARTWORKS Education Coordinator, Kenny Bullock and artist Que, invites those that consider themselves apart of our surrounding community to join in for a conversation about becoming a more self-sustainable community. This raises awareness and is an opportunity to share narratives and resources in a safe space.
 
Workshop attendees will be able to leave the space with multimedia pieces made in response to our conversation around community building.
 
 
 

Please share your art pieces and any photos from the workshop on social media using #StrongerTogether .
