Laura Raicovich: Fall of Freedom
About this episode
Laura Raicovich discusses the concept of cultural participation and the importance of community involvement in the arts.
"One of the major ideas behind Fall of Freedom was not only to get some bold-faced names involved to this project to attract involvement, but to get regular folks to participate...We are all creative beings; we are all producing culture all the time...it's not just seeing the art on the wall, but the conversations we might have. These are important cultural acts that are unfolding on a daily basis and everybody is participating in them. You don't have to fall into this special category of "artist" to produce culture. " ~Laura Raicovich Laura Raicovich is a New York City-based writer and curator based in New York City. Most recently, she curated the inaugural Counterpublic Convening, CIRCUS OF LIFE, in St. Louis, MO and is an initiator of Fall of Freedom, a national call for cultural resistance in the US.
