In Pursuit Of...
Amplifier and The Getty are partnering to launch an open call
Our lesson teaches you how to make visual artworks documenting what YOU are in pursuit of in your life, right now. You’ll learn how to combine images and text to convey a message, ask a question, or demand a change. All you need is your cell phone camera and something to write with. Tell us, are you in pursuit of justice?

We the Future features young leaders from social change movements that are working to encourage people to vote, address climate change, rethink the immigration system, create opportunity in our education system, and address gun violence.
