Working together, Bard College's Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities, People’s Creative Institute , and The Civic Engagement Commission in collaboration with Powerhouse Arts are excited to present “You Are Democracy: A Series on Collective Power," a three-part event series focused on democracy beyond elections. This series will include a film screening, model civic assembly, and a celebratory reimagining of a public meeting.
Join us for the second event in our series, “Democracy in Practice: A Model Assembly,” an immersive, experiential evening where New Yorkers step into the role of participants in a civic assembly. Civic assemblies are a growing practice where residents of a municipality come together to discuss issues in their community and arrive at practical solutions. Learn, listen, deliberate, and practice consensus-building as a practical tool for democratic decision-making. The evening's model assembly will be facilitated by Philip Lindsay of Bard College and Forrest Sparks of The Assembly Project, with special guests.
