MARCH 2021 - Karlee Rodrigues broke down how film consumption impacts global communities in an hour-long presentation at the Artivism Conference. Her presentation titled “Cinema of Dreams” is predicated on the question of how we can use the power of social imagination in film to bolster community, identity, and a collective dreaming.
“Artivism: The Power of Art for Social Transformation” is an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional event series that brings to light how the arts can redress inequities and push society forward. The mission of this interdisciplinary, multi-institutional collaboration is to engage people in changing society through the power of art.
The series was presented by Adelphi University, Teachers College, Columbia University and Sing for Hope to nurture change for continuous action in search of a more just society. The heart of this collaboration aims to create possibilities for a more dignified and meaningful coexistence.
