Artist and scholar Teju Cole’s art practice includes photography, novels, art installations, essays and Spotify playlists. Cole will speak about the possibilities of art and activism at a time of wrenching political division. How can art enter—and transform—national conversations? What can activists teach artists about meaningful creative expression in the 21st century? This is a first come, first seated event. On-site wait-list will be available and wait-listed guests will be seated in order of request ten minutes prior to the event.
