Theme: Social Justice & the Arts: It Can't Be Defined

Join us for Social Justice and the Arts: It Can’t Be Defined on Tuesday, November 12th at Guru at 6:00pm.

We'll take a close look at the relationship between Social Justice and the Arts. Whether through paint or protest, moments of art and social justice cannot be defined, but instead are recognized for their ability to evoke emotions, encourage deep and new thoughts, depict and reflect on the world, and inspire action in a different form.

Our TEDxPhiladelphiaSalon will feature a LIVE TEDx talk and a previously recorded talk, as well as a facilitated audience discussion - all in an effort to unravel the strands that connect social justice and art.

Food and drink refreshments will be provided.

Evening Schedule:
6:00pm: Doors open, check-in, refreshments
6:30pm: Opening remarks
6:45pm: TED Talk Video Screening
7:00pm: Live Speaker
7:30pm: Facilitated small group discussions
8:30pm: Community networking
9:00pm: Event concludes

Jennifer Turnbull

Jennifer Turnbull is a choreographer, performance and teaching artist. Turnbull develops art-based curriculum that weaves in concepts of formal education creating relevance and space for self-determination. Jennifer utilizes a lifetime of dance training to create most artwork in collaboration with art family. Collaborations have led to multidisciplinary ensemble performance, dance, music and film projects with SWARM, BARETEETH and other Philadelphia-based artists. The artistic process is a space to get free and hold our liberation as truth. The product is a critique of that which holds us down and apart from each other and ourselves. Jennifer is Co-director of Spiral Q with Liza Goodell where they unleash the power of art to connect people to their collective creative force for change.
