ANTICAPITALISM FOR ARTISTS, DAY 2: This panel centers on the persistent question for artists who seek to transform the world: What is the relationship of artwork about social change to actual change itself? In conflating these two processes, what are the traps we fall into? In understanding their differences, what are the areas of possibility and opportunity? And where do arts institutions fit into all of this? Guest artists who work at the center of art and transformative change offer up responses.


Spearheaded by DSA-LA members Chris Myers and Naiyah Ambros, Anticapitalism for Artists is an educational community partnering with members of DSA-LA Hollywood Labor, the Workers Arts Project, and other socialist organizations.
