DescriptionJoin us as Devin O’Neill hosts series of dynamic and engaging presentations about the role of art in our lives, communities, and social dialog.

After a short introduction we’ll begin with “Art and Community”—a boundary-pushing exploration of the ways art connects people together, covering conversations from a more conventional definition of communal art all the way to the presentation of a boardgame designed around the genocide in former Yugoslavia.

Our second panel, “Art and Social Change,” explores the incisive ways art can deconstruct our politics and penetrate the group mind; highlights include a presentation on art’s inherent fascism.

This will be followed by readings from some of the finest writers of the Long Beach and greater L.A area, and a short interlude of live music during which you’ll have the opportunity to peruse pieces by, and curated by, some of Cal State Long Beach’s most talented students and alumni.

-from the official press release, more details forthcoming.
