RELATED PUBLIC PROGRAMS OF NOTE:
Public Servants in the Future Imperfect
January 26, 7 p.m.
Organized by the New Museum and A Blade of Grass, this event celebrates the launch of Public Servants: Art and the Crisis of the Common Good, the most recent volume in the New Museum/MIT’s publication series, Critical Anthologies in Art and Culture. The anthology gathers essays, dialogues, and art projects—some previously published and some newly commissioned—to illuminate the ways the arts shape and are shaped by a rapidly changing social and governmental landscape. The event will feature presentations by and discussions with Ben Davis, Tom Finkelpearl, Rick Lowe, and Laura Raicovich on our present moment as it relates to some of the central questions posed by the publication.

Presented as part of "A.K. Burns: Shabby but Thriving," this event features information sessions with lawyers, activists, and grassroots organizers on issues of bodies under duress: civil disobedience, protest, healthcare, policing, prisons, immigration, and environmental contamination. Each session will focus on resource sharing and modes of resistance, and will include presentations followed by discussion with the audience. Participants include staff from Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the Center for Reproductive Rights, the New York Civil Liberties Union, the New York Environmental Law and Justice Project, and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project.
