Candy Chang with Local Artists John Peña and Edith Abeyta | May 10, 2018
We were thrilled to welcome internationally renowned artist Candy Chang for a discussion at the intersection of public space, emotional health, and community. A leader in participatory public art, Chang engages residents in a reflective process to physically create the fabric of their cities. Her Before I Die piece has captivated citizens in more than 70 countries, including Iraq, China, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and South Africa, with other works featured in the Tate Modern and the Renwick Galleries. The evening’s MC Majestic Lane also moderated an interactive discussion with local artists John Peña and Edith Abeyta.
