Space, Place and Diversity in the Arts: A panel Oct. 17
Does public art and performance have the power to amplify the visibility and histories of marginalized communities and create spaces for connecting across difference in Â鶹ӰԺ County and beyond? After a brief planetarium show to gain a different perspective about space, join panelists, artists, activists and scholars to learn about how they address these issues through their work.
Who: Open to the public
What: Space, Place and Diversity in the Arts Panel
