Taking Aim: Art That Addresses Gun Violence

Gun violence is a critical public health crisis in the US with over 100 mass shootings by March 2023. Artists and advocates use their platforms to explore and address the issue. The online exhibit showcases work by Moses Nornberg, Jeff Corwin, Mimi Smith, V.L. Cox, Sara Vance Waddell, and Brian Singer, which provokes critical thinking about gun violence. Organizations, like Change the Ref and March for Our Lives, advocate for legislative change to ensure safety from gun violence. Art can be a powerful tool to raise awareness, inspire change, and create a safer society.
