A Conversation with: Milo Rau + Yvan Sagnet, Dread Scott, Toshi Reagon, Carlton Turner/Sipp Culture, Kristina Wong, and moderator Virginia Grise.

Over this past year, there’s been a significant increase in the numbers of artists and theatres participating in local and national social justice campaigns. While this is inspiring, it also offers the opportunity to look at the historical challenges of and the future aspirations for relationships between art, its institutions, and social justice movements. What do sustainable relationships look like? How does artistic expression become part of movements in new and provocative ways? How do we engage and share radical imagination? And how do we consider art and artists in the ecology of changing the world? The New Gospel holds some of these inquires, as does the visionary work of the artists and organizers assembled for this conversation.

Event Producers: Melanie Joseph and David Bruin
