Join us for a collaborative conversation inspired by the new anthology Democracy as Creative Practice: Weaving a Culture of Civic Life, a collection of essays by artists and cultural activists exploring the connection between theater, performance art, dance, and literature, and the bolstering of democracy through voter engagement, community development, collective healing, and dialogue across differences. Democracy as Creative Practice is home to essays by thirty-five contributors representing seven countries; for this event, co-editor Andrew Zitcer will be joined by three Philadelphia-based artists from the anthology, in conversation with Julia Bloch and students.
ANDREW ZITCER is Associate Professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia, where he directs the Urban Strategy graduate program.
LISA JO EPSTEIN PHD is Founder and Principal Artist-Facilitator-Educator and Consultant as well as Presence-Based Leadership Coach at Just Act in Philadelphia.
KIRSTEN KASCHOCK has been a member of Writers Room in Philadelphia since 2015 and is the author of five poetry books and a novel.
RACHEL WENRICK is the founding director of Writers Room and executive director for arts and civic innovation at Drexel University in Philadelphia.
