Meet Elin O'Hara Slavick
Monday, June 16 2008
by Frank Stasio and Olympia Stone
For artist Elin O’Hara Slavick, art isn’t a commodity, it’s a tool for activism. As a professor of studio art at UNC-Chapel Hill, she uses art to get her students thinking in a new way. But her efforts aren’t always appreciated. Elin received death threats after organizing community teach-ins about the war on terrorism. She joins host Frank Stasio to discuss her life as an activist and the role of art in the pursuit of justice.
