Art as Activism: Talk by Ann Johnson and Rabéa Ballin
“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.” — Toni Morrison-1984. The power of art in times of distress, resistance, and rebellion has reemerged. Rabéa Ballin and Ann Johnson examine process, content and ultimately artists using their passion and creativity as a form of activism.
