Join the conversation! Our panel will be discussing artist Titus Kaphar’s TED talk: ‘How can beauty open our hearts to difficult conversations?’

Panelists knowledgeable in diversity and the arts will offer their perspectives on how we can talk meaningfully to each other about the racial issues brought out in Kaphar’s art. This program is part of the series: Community Conversations on Race. 

The TED talk will be shown as part of this program and participants will be able to participate through chat.
