Welcome to Boston: a Keynote Panel on Creative Practices in and with Communities

As we face an uncertain world with stark divisions and ruptures, what is our role as artists, educators, and scholars working with and across our multiple communities? How can and do the performing arts amplify community concerns, connections, and celebrations? How can we center arts and culture in movements for local and global change?

This inspiring discussion is moderated by Michael Bobbitt, executive director of Massachusetts Cultural Council, and features:

• Giselle Byrd, executive director of the Theater Offensive
• Ronee Penoi, interim executive director of the Office of the Arts and director of artistic programming at ArtsEmerson
• Alison Yueming Qu 曲悦鸣, co-founder and executive director of CHUANG Stage.

Sponsored by the Dean’s Office at the School of the Arts, Emerson College.
