Space, Place & Diversity in the Arts Panel

Does public art and performance have the power to amplify the visibility and histories of marginalized communities and create spaces for connecting across difference in Boulder County and beyond? After a brief planetarium show to gain a different perspective about space, join moderator Danielle Rivera, Urb Lab and assistant professor of environmental design, and artists, activists and scholars to learn about how they address these issues through their work.

Panelists will discuss examples such as: the new Indigenous History Mural in the Visual Arts Complex, a nascent project commemorating Los Seis de Boulder, a Louisiana-style social dance procession honoring resistance and resilience, and creative placemaking that includes Latino communities in arts districts around Colorado. 

The first 15 minutes of each event are for networking and check-in. After 5 pm, Lot 308 is free:
