CCR Executive Director Vincent Warren will join artist and activist Mariam Ghani for a discussion on identity and "national security" from the perspective of social justice work and creative practice. The group will discuss how movement lawyers and artists have responded to the travel ban and other recent discriminatory policies in the context of longer struggles going back to CCR's founding during the Civil Rights Movement, and post-9/11 racial and religious profiling. The conversation will be moderated by Amara Antilla, Assistant Curator, and is part of the Guggenheim Museum’s Summer of Know series.

The program is free with museum admission, and takes place in Cafe 3, where drinks and food are available. Please note capacity is limited. 

Summer of Know provides a forum for responding to and engaging with current issues as they are filtered through the generative lens of art. The series brings together contemporary artists who think deeply about the most urgent social, political, environmental, or legal challenges facing our world today, with individuals who tackle those issues outside of the cultural sphere. Moderated or introduced by Guggenheim curators, these informal discussions invite different perspectives and are premised on the meeting of profound conviction with empirical experience.
