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 panelists, artists, activists and scholars to learn about how they address these issues through their work.
Who: Open to the public
What: Space, Place and Diversity in the Arts Panel
When: Wednesday, Oct. 17, 5:45–7:30 p.m.
Where: Fiske Planetarium
