Unleash your radical imagination about our collective future! In this talk, we explore how artists can work for social change through strategic partnerships and hear from featured guests—Kathy Dickhut, deputy commissioner, Chicago Department of Housing and Economic Development; Dorothy Dunn, director of America: Now and Here; Indira Johnson, artist and coordinator of The Ten Thousand Ripples Project; Lisa Yun Lee, director of the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum; and Jason Reblando, photographer. This panel is moderated by Dawoud Bey, artist and Columbia College professor. The panel is followed by a conversation about how these projects and institutions can be sites of cultural resistance.

Recorded Friday, November 4, 2011 at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum.
