Moral Panic, Whisper Campaigns & Wicked Problems
Artist Talk and Panel Discussion
Using the title I think therefore I am for an artist talk about political issues seems fitting for an exhibition titled Moral Panic, Whisper Campaigns & Wicked Problems. The phrase, coined by philosopher René Descartes, delves into the nature of existence and consciousness. When applied to a discussion about political issues, it highlights the importance of individual perspectives, critical thinking, and the role of personal agency in shaping political discourse and action.
Art has long been a platform for exploring and challenging political ideas. Art invites the audience to consider the political themes depicted in the artwork and the broader implications for society and individual identity.
