Abstract
This symposium will consider four contexts for youth speculative civics learning realized through artistic production, including artmaking and cosplaying in out-of-school spaces as well as class projects relating to “upstander tributes,” drawing, digital collage, poetry, stop motion animation, and creating an AI Bill of Rights. Each of these presentations will consider the unique affordances of the artistic medium used by youth for civic engagement as well as the extent to which these creations led to democratic engagement across different publics.
