Art can speak volumes. Art has a unique place in politics, addressing controversial topics and sometimes hitting a nerve. Hear from artists who are actively working on social justice, conveying hot topics and making a statement through their art. Through their experiences in film, cartooning and music our speakers will share how they approach these more controversial projects, challenges and thoughts around balancing their careers while changing their communities and minds.

Hear from talented panelists: Ward Sutton, political cartoonist; Shari Due, independent documentary filmmaker; Sydney Parks Smith, actor and director; and Thomas "Detour" Evans, artist.
