Whether through painting, public murals, film and media, or installations, the visual arts perform an essential role in not only interrogating and protesting social and political orders, but also in offering a view of alternatives. Taking inspiration from curator Susie Kantor's exhibition From Moment to Movement: Picturing Protest in the Kramlich Collection, on view at the Manetti Shrem Museum, this conversation addresses the vital role of artists and art in the public sphere today and the challenges of critical and creative interventions in a media-saturated culture. The panel includes Susie Kantor, M.A., Associate Curator, Manetti Shrem Museum; Fiamma Montezemolo, Ph.D., artist, cultural anthropologist and Professor, Cinema and Digital Media, UC Davis; Marina Pugliese, Ph.D., Director of Public Art, City of Milan; and moderator Katharine Wallerstein, Associate Director, UC Davis Humanities Institute.
