TRANSMISSION TO THE NATION
WEEK 2: SEPTEMBER 25, 2020
WE ARE LIVE!! Here, in our inaugural transmission, seven artists address the nation. They critique, heal, move, and inspire us to channel our rage. They demand change. They offer faith, and they call to the roots of our collective imaginations. In this overwhelming moment, may we ground ourselves in the voices of these creative leaders. May this chorus offer you strength to take resolute action towards justice for all. Welcome.
For accessibility the written scripts can be found if you click on each artist’s name. We are doing our best to get as many of these addresses interpreted in ASL and would love any feedback for how we can make this gallery more accessible in the future.
