Discussion | Art, Artists, & Conflict (online)


Three artists in conversation on artists' roles, responsibilities, and tactics around presentations and more examinations of conflict. Through examples of their own artworks and others, the three artists address the challenge of how to address, present, or represent conflict taking place in the present.
