Convening a panel of internationally acclaimed artists featured in In Pursuit: Artists’ Perspectives on a Nation, the National Liberty Museum presents a discussion on the power of art and freedom of expression. Moderator Stephanie Sparling Williams, Curator of American Art at the Brooklyn Museum, will lead the discussion, exploring the important role that art plays in liberal societies and the real tensions that emerge when artists engage in contemporary political and social movements. Hear directly from artists on how they maneuver in a challenging era of political polarization and around forces of social moderation and even censorship. Is art ever just… art? Or is the personal still political.
