Other Information
What does it mean to challenge the status quo and embrace a culture of change? In this presentation, Rujeko Hockley, assistant curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, connects the work within Betye Saar: Call and Response with how leaders in the art industry can reframe narratives, open spaces, and use art as a way to build deep relationships with community. Additionally, she will discuss her renowned exhibition We Wanted A Revolution and her relationship to Wide Awakes, a collective calling for change within the political structures of America.
