State of Young Philly: Making Art Political

Streets Dept. and the Mural Arts Young Friends invite you to a panel featuring artists and advocates who explore how creative processes and the temporality of political issues plays a role in their public artworks. As the 2016 election season comes to a close, we are excited to hear from artists Joe Boruchow, Kara Springer, and Ishknits about the role of public art as a tool for advocacy and understand how the work will evolve coming out of such a heightened political landscape. Panel will be moderated by Professor Julie Hawkins. Refreshments will be provided by Victory Brewing.
