Born in Puerto Rico and raised near Baltimore, Paula Liz attended the Maryland Institute of Art where she received her BFA in Painting and MAT in Art Education. She believes in the power of student voice, community artivism, and is also the founder of Anti-Racist Art Teachers.
Â
Anti-Racist Art Teachers is working toward removing biases, stereotypes, and false narratives in art education. We believe it is important for educators to begin to learn, reflect, and reform their curriculum and instruction. The goal of our site is to provide a free and centralized location for educators to access culturally relevant and responsive resources.
Â
Art is a visual language and its role in activism is vital. Our images are created not as performative allyship, but as a way to bring attention to the importance of doing the work. Anti-bias antiracist education involves deep and constant reflection. Our images serve as a visual reminder of the value of this work.
