Description

The series Raw Hope of Humanity Rising brings together artists, activists, media critics, cultural and government officials in interdisciplinary panels to discuss the political impact of Covid-19 during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. 

Idealism vs. Cynicism explores the disruption of idealism essential to the core principles of democracy though cynical disdain for the rule of law, wisdom, truth, and logic. The dialogue will feature Randall Packer, Moderator; Zoë Charlton (Artist, Associate Professor, American University); Lee McIntyre (Research Fellow, Center for Philosophy and History of Science, Boston University); Monica Montgomery (Executive Director, Prince George’s African American Museum and Cultural Center).
