ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ

Does public art and performance have the power to amplify the visibility and histories of marginalized communities and create spaces for connecting across difference in ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ County and beyond? After a brief planetarium show to gain a different perspective about space, join panelists, artists, activists and scholars to learn about how they address these issues through their work. Panelists will discuss examples such as: the new Indigenous History Mural in the Visual Arts Complex, a nascent project commemorating Los Seis de ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, a Louisiana-style social dance procession honoring resistance and resilience, and creative placemaking that includes Latino communities in arts districts around Colorado. 

Moderator: Danielle Rivera, assistant professor, CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Program in Environmental Design and CEDaR affiliated faculty member.
