With Naila Opiangah, Hank Willis Thomas, Jerald Cooper, and Walter Cruz.
A Matter of Public Inspiration invites a cross-section of those leading the charge to bring social justice to their communities to reflect on the landscape of their cities. At their best, monuments and public art installations can become part of a community’s psyche, acting as extensions of ourselves and our hopes and dreams. Together the panelists share about the fixtures in their communities that have shaped and inspired them and functioned in their life.
Curated by Niama Safia Sandy.
