SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Your City Your Story (Double Exposure Film Festival)
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a community stops waiting on institutions and does accountability’s work itself? In Los Angeles\, the gay community banded together to investigate a cold case murder and push it toward resolution — the subject of Rachel Mason’s new film My Brother’s Killer. It’s happening nationwide as legacy news organizations scale back and new local news outlets emerge: Chicago-based City Bureau trains community members to cover public meetings; Outlier Media in Detroit involved citizens in connecting residents to money the county owed them after selling their homes at auction. Other news platforms train citizens in filing FOIA requests\, with OpenAI even providing a generator to automate the process. This session is about building a record where none exists — tools for everyone\, and the networks to use them safely. \n\nFeaturing Lois Nembhard\, George Kevin Jordan\, Rachel Mason\, Sonam Vashi\, and Noah Kincade. \n\n  \nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\nDouble Exposure offers a variety of festival passes that provide attendees with priority access to a range of events. We also offer a limited number of standalone tickets to individual events\, providing a more flexible way to participate.

SUMMARY:The Promise and Perils of Public Art: Ben Shahn's Murals on Social Security
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Laura Katzman as she discusses the public art of Ben Shahn (1898-1969)\, focusing on his most prominent New Deal fresco murals\, The Meaning of Social Security\, which were commissioned by the Public Works Agency’s Section of Fine Arts (1940-1942) for the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building in Washington. \nDr. Katzman will address how Shahn navigated the demands of federal agencies\, the needs of his own art/activism\, and the larger goals of his social criticism. The program will illuminate the status of Shahn’s murals in the context of the current administration?s controversial efforts to sell specific government buildings and its drastic staff cuts to the General Services Administration––the official steward of federally funded art in government buildings across the United States. \n  \n  \nRegister
