The Committee on Cultural Affairs at Bucks County Community College is presenting Better Together: A Community Lecture with visiting artist Aram Han Sifuentes on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 6:30 p.m. in the Gallagher Room, Rollins Center, Newtown Campus, 275 Swamp Road. This event is free and open to the public.
Artist and activist Sifuentes’ work confronts social and racial injustices, interweaving fiber, social practice, performance and pedagogy to consider themes of immigration, labor and protest. Many of her projects, such as the ongoing “Protest Banner Lending Library,” aim to make art more accessible to the disenfranchised, especially immigrants of color. Since 2016, Sifuentes has brought communities together to sew protest banners, creating a creative outlet of resistance for those who cannot attend protests for their own safety.
Join Sifuentes for a lecture on their practice’s trajectory, exploring how they make political statements and engage communities through participatory art.
