    THEORY OF CHANGE: CULTURAL EQUITY + SOCIAL EQUITY = LASTING SOCIAL CHANGE

    by Sheena Johnson/Seeding Courage Consulting

    Social equity is the just and fair inclusion of all members of society in the decisions and institutions that shape our
    ability to have safe, healthy, vibrant and sustainable communities and livelihoods. For lasting social equity to
    occur, systemic change wins in the arena of public policy must take root on the individual and community level.
    Cultural equity efforts have the unique ability to tie public policy efforts (system change), grassroots organizing
    (community empowerment), and individual agency (personal transformation) together to maximize the impact of
    social equity strategies. Arts and culture can serve as the glue to connect and cement efforts for social equity in
    all areas from education and health to criminal justice and economic development. Investment in arts and culture
    builds the capacity and agency of both individuals and communities to take advantage of policy opportunities and
    to fully participate at the decision making table by addressing internalized oppression and supporting
    intergenerational healing. Through arts based healing and identity formation work individuals and communities
    gain the capacity to dream, create and act in the following ways:

    Creative Capacity- Art education improves learning outcomes and nurtures creative, innovative and
    imaginative citizens. Ex: Boston School Turnaround & GIA Arts Education Equity Initiative research

    Cultural Pluralism- Supporting diverse range of cultural expression moves western dominate cultural
    assumptions out of the center of paradigms of understanding. This helps to also build stronger
    communities, promotes cultural understanding, and fosters diversity of thought and solutions to social
    problems. EX: Cultural Vitality Indicators, Cultural Bridging and Bonding research

    Democratizing Voice- Arts and culture based advocacy efforts can link diverse voices to the decision
    making table creating advocates who are those most impacted by social inequity. EX: Youth Radio

    Social Re-imagining- Artists and culture bearers have the ability to facilitate a communitys ability to
    envision and write their own future, not determined by race, class or gender. EX: Arlene Goldbard,
    Sheenas MFA Thesis
