Making the World a Better Place Through Culture

Making the World a Better Place Through Culture

2021 SEGD Conference Experience Philadelphia

Making space to share everyone’s stories, will be the central topic of Joy’s keynote. Today’s cultural audiences (people of all cultures) are examining, wrestling with, and understanding the stories of their own as well as others cultures. In this talk, Joy will discuss ways that the sheer presence of equitable arts and cultural programming makes public space public (tax-payer funded spaces like museums, parks, gardens, libraries). How “evidence” of culture can promote resilience (agency) and the importance of preserving and promoting stories as
object/artifact.
