Through a keynote address, a moderated panel discussion, and a performance, activists and leaders will address the importance of what the late scholar Ben Barber coined “interdependency” in the light of current circumstances. The circumstances we are living in suggest connecting not only ‘’globally,” but also across other pressing, emerging, threatening barriers as well.
Our speakers represent the new and inspiring ways in which the arts, culture, and creativity in particular are giving voice to a new generation of activism. They include visionaries, but also the individuals and emerging groups among us who are creating new alliances for change--including some people who aren’t normally thought of as activists.

- "In teaching about interaction and choreography, I realized that there was a very simple but powerful metaphor in treating choreography as a form of visual art." Mimi Yin is exploring the use of interactive media as a mode of “choreographic intervention,” where coded rules of interaction provide a framework for dancers to collectively compose improvisations that explore form and structure. Yin, a spring 2019 fellow at The Center for Ballet and the Arts at NYU and an assistant arts professor in Tisch's Interactive Telecommunications Program, aims to refine a series of exercises and accompanying software tools to train dancers in this new mode of trans-media improvisation.
