Reimagining the Role of Art | Jus Tavcar | TEDxEarlhamCollege |
![]() |
The topic of his talk, Reimagining the Role of Art is the endless question of defining art. Jus thinks that each individual is entitled to their own definition of art, but also that they can only create their impression after learning about what goes into the process of making a specific artwork. Because art education is unfortunately still a matter of privilege, people too often do not know how to interpret something they see in a gallery or a museum. Jus Tavcar is a second-year student of Art History, Marketing, and Museum Studies at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. He grew up in a small European country of Slovenia, where he was raised in a family of artists and art lovers. Son and grandson to art collectors and sibling to two artists, he realized very early not only what it means to be an artist, but also how to survive as one. He was fortunate to have been deeply immersed in art education in his household, which has helped him notice the lack of education of the artistic practices across the school systems. Jus is passionate about bringing art closer to diverse audiences and implementing it into more and more STEM overpowering curricula.
