Where do we go from here?

Join Boston-area thinkers, institutions, entrepreneurs, activists, city officials, and artists for a discussion to commemorate the Civil Rights Movement and the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. This discussion aligns with themes found in “Monuments to Us,” on view now. 

Moderator: Reverend Jeffrey Brown, associate pastor, Twelfth Baptist Church, Roxbury
Chaplain Clementina Chéry, president and CEO, Louis D. Brown Peace Institute
Adrian Walker, columnist
Chanel Thervil, artist and educator

Following the panel, hear from international artist Julia Vogl on People, Places, and the Power of Art, a presentation investigating how social engagement, democratic means of data collection, and wild color can transform places and ignite new connections in community. Vogl is currently working with Boston communities for her project Pathways to Freedom, commissioned by Jewish Arts Collaborative, on view on Boston Common from April 25 to May 2, 2018.
