April 11, 7:30-8:45 PM San Francisco Main Library in the Latino Hispanic Room  Sign up soon as it tends to sell out! Register for Night of Ideas Night of Ideas is a collaboration between the SFPL, Villa Albertine, KQED, Asian Art Museum and Circuit Network. This year’s theme, Lighting the Way, invites Bay Area audiences to see how creativity, ideas, and collective action can illuminate paths forward as the U.S. approaches 250 years since the Declaration of Independence. From cultural expression to shared responsibility, Lighting the Way asks what guides us, what inspires positive change, and how we can actively shape a more connected future together. Jo Kreiter will speak on a panel that investigates intersections of art, advocacy and justice through the important work of Empowerment Avenue, Flyaway Productions, and SkunkWorks. All three orgs have developed impactful models that use the arts - large and small scale writing, visual, film and dance - to build awareness for justice-impacted communities and the need for carceral reform and abolition, provide platforms for developing an art practice and presenting artistic talent and center artists who have historically been kept out of mainstream art spaces.
