'Artists Among Us: Maria Alejandra Rivas' Art and Artists

Dilucca from San Jose, California - 03/29/10 17:36

Maria began her work in creating social responsible art during the summer of her sophomore year when she received an Advanced Study Grant to create and manage a two-month theatre camp for children in Ecuador. For two months, she gave poor children in her home country a chance to live their dreams and discover their passions in writing, design, and acting. Maria returned to BC as a junior to continue her studies at Boston College in its first cross-departmental course covering social responsibility and art, Creating Social Activist Images. In that class, she helped launch a campaign to bring awareness of homelessness in Boston through a compelling on-campus art installment. Maria remains committed to the power of art on social change and believes that through the Center, students and professors from all different areas can come to work and research social responsible topics together. Maria believes Boston Colleges maxim of men and women for others makes it a logical place for this Center's work to begin.
