The pandemic revealed the entrails of the US, its inequality, inhumanity, overt racism, anti-immigrant sentiment & authoritarianism. Struggling to make sense of it all, we artists, educators & stakeholders, involved in art productions, got together & told our stories, visions, worries, hopes & needs, noting that we are all humans after all. Arts & education are the umbilical cord that connects us, which also allows us to overcome the barriers that surfaced from the pandemic-induced isolation.
