The Essence of Democracy is a new Arts Project ONLINE virtual event series featuring conversations with artists whose work gives voice to those often unheard. Ann Lalik, gallery director and arts coordinator at Penn State Lehigh Valley (PSU-LV), will moderate the panel consisting of the artist, PSU-LV faculty or staff and a student whose discipline, life experiences and interests align with the artist’s message and concept.
The webinar series will amplify voices that are often stifled, through racism, gender discrimination, homophobia, ableism, etc. when fear or ignorance allow the perpetuation of suppression through systemic oppression.
