This is the tenth and final webinar in a year-long exploration of the foundational causes of and responses to racial and social injustice in the United States, convened by the leadership of Cornell’s West Campus House System. The series has examined scholarship, policy, and activism in five key areas — voting, criminal justice, higher education, climate change, and housing — alternating with explorations of artistic interventions and arts activism by leading practitioners.
“Full Circle” brings us back to where we started, in one place, alone and together, grappling with the complex issues spotlighted by both the pandemic and the movement for racial justice. Four diverse artists, who are also educators in fields that range from medicine to architecture, will each present their practice and the ways in which it speaks to our current moment, offering us glimpses of how one bears witness while building moments for reflection, resolution, renewal, and action.
