The Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts at the University of North Carolina School
of the Arts strives to create a safe environment, one that allows people from all
walks of life to thrive. Doing so demands that we commit to an explicit and continual
process of identifying and dismantling systems and practices of bias, exclusion and
oppression. Education and art making can be transformational forces for change and
we are working so that change leads toward justice.
