REGISTER: Sawyer Seminar "Afterlives of Liberation": Antiracism & Liberation in the Arts
Our last seminar of the year considers the post-1968 legacies of artistic expressions of the 1960s/70s political struggles and notions of liberation in music, literature, film, television, and other artistic forms that emerged during that time. Against the economic, political, and cultural shifts which have transformed how we engage with and consume art in the last fifty years, especially the emergence of digital media and the transnational networks of exchange through which it circulates, we explore how the arts—in sonic, literary, visual, and digital forms—have expressed evolving conceptions of racial liberation during this time period. Through performance and conversation, our panelists will consider how artistic expression speaks to the multiple forms of crisis confronting us today. 

SEATING IS LIMITED TO 100 GUESTS SO PLEASE REGISTER TODAY.
