ART DEFIANCE/ART DEFINES US: With Arlan Huang, Cal Hsiao and Siyan Wong

ART DEFIANCE/ART DEFINES US: Finding voice under siege

How can art spark reflection, resistance and social change? What can we as artists collectively do in these pivotal times? Join three multi-generational artists for a thought-provoking afternoon of conversation with slideshows and screenings.

Plus, add your image to Arlan Huang’s newly installed artwork “This Painting Fights Fascism”.

Arlan Huang (visual artist): “I make art to keep from falling into despair. I paint to exercise my First amendment right of free speech. My new work is called “ This Painting Fights Fascism”.

Cal Hsiao (photographer and community organizer based in South Brooklyn, currently focused on teaching youth workshops): “I believe in the power of art to help people imagine that a different world is possible.”

Siyan Wong (visual artist): “I believe art can be a vehicle for positive change and social justice. It's a universal language.”

This program is part of #FallOfFreedom this November 21–22, a nationwide movement of artists, writers, musicians, and creators standing together for expression without limits.
