Hostile Sounds
An FSP@PPG Lunchtime Conversation
In conjunction with the current Power Plant Gallery exhibit, Soundings: Protest|Politics|Dissent, we’ll have a discussion about the subversive, creative, disruptive, unifying power of sound. Panelists include Christopher DeLaurenti, whose work is represented in the exhibition, and local activists and artists Tina Haver Currin, Jess Dilday, and Rodrigo Dorfman.
