"When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak." – Audre Lorde
Art has long been a vehicle for social change, and artists of all types are often on the frontlines of movements for peace, equity, and justice. In the struggle to confront anti-Black racism and dismantle White supremacy, art can play an important role in creating spaces for truth-telling, healing, relationship-building, and the radical celebration of joy and beauty in the face of dehumanization. Join us for an evening of art for social change, when we will present artistic works alongside dynamic conversations with experts on storytelling, art-making, and social change.
This event is being organized by the John Mitchell, Jr. Program for History, Justice, and Race as part of Carter School Anti-Racism Peace Week.
