The Detroit Center is offering two new diversity programs focusing on Detroit arts and culture.

As a continuation of our “Beyond the Ivory Tower” Series, the Detroit Center will host the mini-symposium, Innervisions: The Arts and Social Justice, at the Detroit Center from 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 9.

Transportation will be provided for those coming from the Ann Arbor campus (Ann Arbor pick up at 8:30 a.m.; return to Ann Arbor by 2:30 p.m.).

The mini-symposium provides a unique opportunity for academic and community stakeholders to engage in discourse on a particular topic. Join in on the conversation with the following arts activists in session that will combine the World Café Conversation model with performances and presentations, featuring: 2015 Knight Arts Challenge Recipient Rhonda Greene (Executive Director, Heritage Works) and 2016 Kresge Artist Fellows: LO5 (aka, Carlos Garcia – Live Media Artist & Performer), Mahogany Jones (Hip Hop Artist), Red Stowall (Choreographer & Dancer), and Sterling Toles (Composer & Producer).

Participation is open to artists, community arts organizations, K-12 school staff, and University faculty, staff and graduate students of any department/discipline. Lunch will be provided. To register, see https://goo.gl/hZv2uk
