![You’ve probably seen Occupy-related art on the news, online and even here on campus. Posters, performances and remixes of old songs have all dramatized the ideas behind the activism.
Two Stanford professors, Michele Elam from the English Department and Jennifer DeVere Brody from Drama, participated in Occupy the Future this week by putting a spotlight on the arts.
In a piece written for the Boston Review, they argued that “The oeuvre of Occupy embodies the idea that art is activism.”
Elam and Brody ended their piece with the challenge that to create a better world, we must first occupy our imaginations. KZSU reporter Eliza Ridgeway followed up with them to learn what, exactly, that might mean. Listen here.

![The Occupy protest movement and Stanford University don’t immediately seem like a good fit. While some students have peacefully occupied a few square feet of Meyer Library, others are skeptical of the movement’s methods, even if they agree with its goals.
Last week, students and faculty staged a teach-in and rally as part of Occupy the Future, an intellectual off-shoot that brings the ivory tower to the protest.
What does Occupy add up to, with no leaders, no formally selected goals and a shifting, motley membership?
KZSU reporter Eliza Ridgeway looked for the answer on campus. Listen here.
