The popular image of finance is numbers and charts, comprehensible only to those initiated in the craft. But numbers are expressions of stories we live with, and stories that drive finance are also driving our wellbeing, present and future. In this unique collaboration, artists Rachel Breen and Vienne Chan will work with Susanna Gibbons of the Carlson School of Management and her students at the Carlson Funds Enterprise to learn together how to combine financial and artistic thinking to imagine a shared positive story of the future. Artists will participate in the program alongside students and inject creative elements into the class that will challenge traditional financial decision making and deepen discussions of social contexts, values, and consequences of financial investments, enhancing everyone’s sense of social responsibility for decisions in class and in the “real world.”
