Consequences of Hate Speech
Seattle artists Nancy Current and Robin Atlas will be presenting On the Consequences of Hate Speech, a penetrating mixed media art exhibition that delves into hate speech, its historically destructive manifestations and the consequences for humanity. The exhibit also advocates the antidote: educating our children and our responsibility to condemn hate speech in any form.
The opening reception and panel discussion will feature not only the artists, Nancy Current and Robin Atlas, but special guest social justice activist Minnijean Brown Trickey, a member of the Little Rock Nine, a group of young students who broke through segregation to attend High School in Arkansas in 1957. Minnijean, recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal, has spent her life fighting for civil rights, including supporting the struggle of First Nations people, protesting to save the environment, and working towards equality for all.
All are welcome to the reception and panel, on Wednesday, May 17, 7pm, at the Gallery @ Artisan Square.
