Timed as a one-year remembrance of L.A.’s wildfires, this extraordinary panel will explore the transformative power of the arts as a vehicle for healing. Renowned abolitionist artist and author and New York Times–bestselling author , in a potent conversation moderated by New York–based curator/critic , will discuss how art and embodiment address trauma, build community, foster personal and collective healing of wounds created by structural violence, and lead to a future rooted in transformative justice.
The conversation is part of How Healing Happens, a three-event series that highlights emergent perspectives on how artistic practices can nurture personal and collective well-being and provide space for reflection and connection.
