Fractures: Creating Around Devastation Presentation Now Available-4/19/2021

On March 4th, Mari Margil of the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights and filmmaker Jeremy Kagan presented at  the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago’s symposium titled “Fractures: Creating Around Devastation.”  This was a conversation around the kinds of changes that are needed to protect water and nature, and our own lives, at a time of great environmental devastation. And, importantly, the role of the arts and artists in shaping and advancing change - today and throughout the history of past people's movements.  Jeremy and Mari discussed how policy and storytelling were used to shift culture. How do we think about the protection of water as a cultural change? What stories do we need to write to create movement and progress?

The panel session begins at 39:35 is now publicly available here.
