Manny’s: Art Works Book Launch w/ Ken Grossinger & Favianna Rodriguez

An artist’s mural of George Floyd became an emblem of a revived racial equality movement. A Central American dictator is ousted by a popular mobilization fueled by a documentary film. Freedom songs have been a crucial part of the American Civil Rights movement.

Join us for an exciting book talk with author Ken Grossinger, on his book ‘Art Works: How Organizers and Artists are Creating a Better World Together’, and Artist & Center for Cultural Power President, Favianna Rodriguez.

Favianna Rodriguez is regarded as one of the leading thinkers and personalities uniting art, culture, and social impact. Through her thought leadership as President and co-founder of The Center for Cultural Power, an organization igniting change at the intersection of art and social justice, she has been instrumental in building a cultural strategy ecosystem that supports BIPOC artists in the U.S. She helped launch the Constellations Culture Change Fund, a philanthropic initiative designed to build cultural power by investing in BIPOC artists and grassroots art organizations.

Come learn about how organizers and artists have been at the forefront of political mobilization and social change!
