Face to Face Conference

Face to Face 2022

April 11, 2022 What does the journey towards true arts equity look like? If nothing else, this new journey requires, in the words of Toni Morrison, “seeing in the new pattern of an old idea the Revelation and the Word.” A revelatory ecosystem that places historically disinvested communities, institutions, artists and audiences at the very center and demands of us – the arts and culture field – an answer to the question: “what do these culturally-rich communities need to thrive?” Dr. Indira Etwaroo shares her journey navigating an ever-evolving arts world. She is joined by Karen Brooks Hopkins (President Emeritus of Brooklyn Academy of Music) and Laura Walker (President Emeritus of New York Public Radio), whom she worked with closely during her tenure at these two institutions to discuss a thriving ecosystem for all. Prior to the keynote, the Roundtable welcomes writer, organizer, vocalist, and performance poet Mahogany Browne to open the conference with a performance of her work.
