American Studies 2nd Art & Social Criticism Lecture Series

Stanford’s American Studies Program presents the 2nd Art and Social Criticism Lecture Series

How does the visual culture of political and community activism raise awareness, spark social change, and rouse protest? This series focuses on what artists and other “makers” contribute through symbolic and expressive works—wall painting, banners, protest signs, ephemera, manifestos and performative actions—to ensure robust, public dialogue on urgent topics.
