As AI reshapes the creative landscape, one visionary proposes a new direction: a return to the human spirit. Embracing hyper-specificity, intimate communities, and multimedia innovation, the future of art becomes a canvas for personal expression, social connection, and interactive exploration. In this evolving landscape, art transcends mere utility, weaving threads of emotion and experience to ignite the imagination and unite communities in shared expression.

The event is dedicated to examining and sustaining conversation about what it means to Democratize Racial Justice. After years of Mellon funded work, we want to bring together DRJ collaborators – educators, community leaders, artists, scholars, writers, singers and more – to share perspectives, projects, and final products. The gathering will be anchored by testimonios of work accomplished, conversations about sustaining social justice efforts in these times, and showcasing the amazing products created since DRJ started in January of 2021.
