Culture, Ecosystems and the Art of Social Change: Favianna Rodriguez Artist Lecture

Art and culture surround us all the time. They shape our identities, values, and behaviors; and they forge our collective imagination. Culture moves faster than politics. Time and again, cultural change has paved the way for transformation. To create a more just world, we must build vibrant cultural movements that inspire new ways of thinking and that include mother nature. Join artist Favianna Rodriguez as she shares her artistic practice and explores how art can educate, ignite the imagination, and move us towards a world where we all belong.
