At Urbano, a scholar connects young artists with ‘deeply local’ educators
“There are people who believe art is art — that we shouldn’t expect anything other than an aesthetic experience,” Jimenez observed. “So I think the question becomes, how can we learn to shape or perhaps even advocate for the kinds of experiences we want to see in Boston.” Jimenez, 35, spent over 20 years working as a professional musician. Now a PhD candidate in Harvard’s Graduate School of Education, she’s turned her focus to studying and creating entirely new kinds of learning opportunities, specifically ones that are less white-washed than what she experienced as a young artist.
