Art to the Rescue: Cultural Agents Take You by Surprise

Building on the extraordinary intervention made in scholarly and civic life by Doris Sommer’s “The Work of Art in the World,” this presentation explores how the lost promise of the humanities is being realized by artists and activists in aggrieved communities in New Orleans, Houston and Los Angeles who are working with the few tools they have in the sparse arenas that are open to them.

Presented by Doris Sommer and George Lipsitz
