As the stakes in this year’s presidential election reach unprecedented heights, the future of our democracy hinges on more than just policy debates and electoral outcomes. The power of art and cultural organizing can no longer be underestimated in shaping the narrative and galvanizing action. This upcoming panel and activation brings together a diverse group of visionary artists and leaders to explore how art can be a potent force against authoritarianism and a catalyst for democratic engagement. This event aims to illuminate the critical role that creative expression and cultural mobilization play in both reflecting and shaping our collective future.

Join organizers Design Museum of Chicago, Chicago History Museum, and People’s Action Institute as they explore how art can not only reflect our world but also actively shape its future. The free event features:

Panelists include artist Linda Abdullah, curator Pia Singh, designer Dave Pabellon, Marlene Paez Dukes (People’s Action Events Director), Marta Popadiak (People’s Action Director of Movement Governing), and puppet artist Grace Needlman.
