Artists at the Forefront of Social Movements

Art is the most accessible and powerful way to galvanize citizens. Because of this, artists play a pivotal role in catalyzing social change around the world. Our distinguished speakers examine how artists engage with social movements, discuss the risks they confront, and the profound impact of their own work on broader societal shifts.
Participants:
- Samia Halaby, Palestinian-American visual artist, activist, educator, and scholar
- Dread Scott, Visual artist
- Barbara Pollack, co-founder of Art At A Time Like This
