Join Anderson Ranch Arts Center for a thought-provoking conversation on the shifting meanings of art in the face of protest, violence, and censorship.
This dialogue examines how art objects can become flashpoints for public response—whether through acts of protest, vandalism, or institutional suppression—and how those responses reshape the work’s meaning and impact.
The following key questions will be considered: How does violence enacted on an artwork alter its message? What shifts when a work becomes the target of protest? And how do institutions—educational, legal, and cultural—navigate these tensions historically and today?
