Participants become familiar with the ways that artists create awareness and therefore contribute to bringing about change in society. This tour encourages participants to think about how artists express their ideas about the issues underlying current events. This activity could be used in the Walker Art Center galleries, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, or in the classroom with a selection of images from Art Collector. The artworks included in the activity are suggestions only and instructors may choose different artworks to accompany the discussion questions.  This activity is from the Living in Our Time section of the Tour Guide Tool Kit.
