Join us on January 30th, 2025, from 15:30 to 17:00 for an inspiring lecture hosted by SCA, featuring Rebecca Yeo, an activist and academic specializing in disability and migrant justice. Discover the transformative power of art as a research method and its role in fostering social change.
Rebecca Yeo, known for her work connecting the disabled people’s movement and migrant justice, will explore the use of art—especially murals—in research. She argues for the relevance of these tried-and-tested methods as tools for communication, community-building, and advocacy. Drawing on collaborations with artist Andrew Bolton, Rebecca shares insights into how community murals bring people together, amplify marginalized voices, and promote understanding.
Through vibrant examples, Rebecca demonstrates how murals, as public art forms, serve to reclaim spaces, convey research findings in accessible ways, and support aspirations for social change. This lecture will challenge you to rethink the role of art in research and activism.
