The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College has published a book on the most urgent issues of the day — from race to food insecurity.
Culture as Catalyst is a collection of dialogues and new writings by artists, scholars, activists and influential thinkers who present new perspectives and encourage a “getting comfortable with discomfort” attitude to work through big ideas to drive change.
Edited by Isolde Brielmaier, the curator at large at the Tang Teaching Museum, the book accompanies the 2017–2019 Accelerator Series of public conversations she organized at the museum to shed light on the topics of whiteness, migration, mass incarceration, feminism, monuments, citizenship, cultural appropriation, forgiveness and food justice.
