[COURSE] The Artist Must Take Sides: Culture & The Movement Past, Present, & Future

The People's Forum 320 West 37th Street, New York, NY, United States

In this course presented by Artists Against Apartheid & The People’s Forum, we will study the role of the artist in the movement. We will discuss the responsibility of artists to struggle against the system that exploits, alienates, and pacifies and towards building a culture that inspires, drives, and sustains our collective struggle for liberation. Art alone cannot make a revolution, but it can transform the people who will.
