Keith Haring, Art and Social Optimism for Change
About
Forty-one years ago, Keith Haring painted a mural on the side of a school building in Johnston St, Collingwood. That school building is now Collingwood Yards, and Haring’s mural has since become a stirring and lively homage to his legacy of art, activism and influence.Join us for a panel discussion that will explore art and social optimism as it pertains to Haring’s ongoing legacy and spirit. What can we learn from Haring’s ability to spark public conversation, and how is artistic expression still being utilised today to enact social change? Where do public art and activism intersect, and how can we wield their overlapping power?
