Behind the scenes, artists, organizers, political activists and philanthropists have worked together to hone powerful strategies for achieving the kind of world we want and need. Join author Ken Grossinger for a discussion of the role of museums in these environments. 

In Grossinger’s book Art Works: How Organizers and Artists are Creating a Better World, he shares histories, examples and strategies affirming how the visual and performing arts further social justice goals. Drawing from historical and present-day examples – including Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, the Hip Hop Caucus, the Legacy Museum and the Art for Justice Fund – Grossinger offers a rich tapestry of tactics and successes that speak directly to the challenges and needs of today’s activists and of these political times.
