Go beyond the main stage with Luminato’s Conversation Series of engaging talks and resources which explore the ideas that fuel the festival. Join us for candid and meaningful discussions about the realities we face and the futures we can envision and create, together. No idea is off-limits as we dig into the issues that affect our communities, our families, our systems, and our lives. Art starts conversations. We invite you to join the conversation.
This year, the series will feature talks with Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem; Julie Crooks, Curator at the AGO; Justine Abigail Yu of
Living Hyphen; and Shannon Chochrane, Artistic Director of
FADO Performance Art.
