As we celebrate the fifth annual Art & Activism event, presented by SVA Continuing Education, the concept of home and all its definitions are explored. What does it mean to be at home in our bodies, our communities and our world as we navigate through these perilous times?

At this year’s Art & Activism event, titled “Our House: Claiming ‘Home’ through Art and Design,” numerous artists across various disciplines convey their visions reflecting the issues society faces. We will spend the evening hearing from artists who addressed how fallow buildings could be re-purposed for creatives in desperate need of affordable living spaces; an accomplished nonprofit leader creating space through community design; an artist-activist working with indigenous communities to save the Amazon utilizing performance art; and high school students expressing themselves about the ever-present threat of climate change through the art of animation.

It will be a fascinating evening of presentation and discussion.

All attendees must show proof of vaccination to enter the SVA Theatre, according to the regulations established by the City of New York. See the up-to-date protocols here. This event will also be available via livestream.
