Work is created in collaboration with and inspired by collections in the McHenry Special Collections Library at UCSC.For more information about funding opportunities associated with the Art and Oppression initiative, please visit the ARI grants page. The ARI Art and Oppression Initiative was launched in 2021 by Faculty Director Dee Hibbert-Jones with generous seed funding from Jim Gunderson and Peter Coha.
