Community and Solidarity on the Frontlines: A Case Study of Seattle, WA
September 30, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM |

In order to move forward, each of us must have the skills to build solidarity and community with others without dismissing our important differences.

And can these lessons be applied to other cities and regions across America?听This panel will be moderated by Dr. James Wellman,听Professor and Chair of the Comparative Religion Program at the Jackson School of International Studies.

The works in this online presentation are drawn from the Henry听.
The Jacob Lawrence Gallery Journal: MONDAY
View at your leisure |
MONDAY presents experiments in arts writing that invite readers to imagine future forms of criticism. The contributing writers have in common a playful approach to their writing. Their subjects extend beyond fine arts to include performance, style, manifestos 鈥� all manner of cultural expression. Published by the Jacob Lawrence Gallery at the School of Art + Art History + Design, MONDAY seeks to be both accessible and rigorous, and above all to remind us that our approach to cultural criticism can be as heterogeneous as the themes it addresses.听
