This interactive workshop explores how UMBC's Shriver Center and Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Center build equity-driven campus-community partnerships with Baltimore City communities to address systemic inequities and complex social challenges. Through the lens of ART RYSING—a youth-led, arts-based initiative co-created with WombWork Productions after the 2015 Baltimore Uprising—participants will examine how storytelling, dialogue, and creative expression foster civic learning, well-being, belonging, and student engagement. Highlighting marginalized youth engagement, impact frameworks, and culturally grounded collaboration, the session emphasizes student leadership, resilience, and bridge-building practices that support engaged democracy, mental health, and sustainable community transformation. Attendees will explore how authentic, arts-based partnerships advance justice, healing, and enduring change through performance and genuine relationship-building.
