Explore the poetic and the practical with Anthony Romero in a weekend of critical inquiry and imagination.
About this Event

About the Weekend:

As a studio seeking to prototype and disseminate creative approaches to social change, we are often met with critiques around practicality. This is an epistemological and strategic conundrum. Anthony Romero will question the thought architectures alive within and across institutions that keep binary logics of poetic and practical, sense and nonsense



Join us at The Hub at Hibernian Hall, October 3rd through 5th, to experience new ways of thinking about change—beyond sense and nonsense. FREE and OPEN to the public.
