Join us on Monday, November 2 for a critical conversation about the current state of American democracy and how the arts can play a role in its future. On the eve of the presidential election, and as many are heading to the Museum to vote, visual artist Ed Ruscha, producer Kasseem “Swizz Beatz” Dean, and entrepreneur Jimmy Iovine chat with director Anne Pasternak. They discuss how artists are using their platforms to contribute to civic engagement, in electoral politics and beyond. As an example of one such contribution, Ruscha’s painting OUR FLAG currently hangs in our entryway. The enduring symbol of American pride and patriotism, frayed and tattered, presents a striking statement on our fraught political moment. Register in advance to join us on Zoom.
