DESCRIPTION:
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 Patrisse Cullors and New York Times–bestselling author Prentis Hemphill, in a potent conversation moderated by New York–based curator/critic Rashida Bumbray, 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. The events will be preceded by workshops for USC students, staff, and faculty.
Presented by USC Visions and Voices. Organized by Sherin Guirguis (Professor of Practice, Art and Design). Co-sponsored by MOCA and the USC Roski School of Art and Design.
