Don’t miss internationally renowned artists Mel Chin and Ginger Brooks Takahashi as they discuss the role of art in affecting societal change.
| Join GBA and the Office of Public Art in welcoming world-renowned artists Mel Chin and Ginger Brooks Takahashi to discuss the role of art in activism and environmental health. Working in public advocacy can seem contrary to artists’ individual identities, but our speakers will discuss how creative originality can respond to the needs of greater society. Mel Chin will present his continuing history of public projects including his historic Revival Field and the persistent engagement of Fundred Project. He will also discuss the importance of public access in the TWO ME installation and a new green community instigation: Frontier of the Future for the 5th Ward of Houston Texas. Ginger Brooks Takashi will add her practice of socially enraged art, elucidating her work in Greater Pittsburgh and beyond. |
Tickets including dinner and drinks are $20, available online and at the door. Nonprofit/Student discount is $15.
