The role of art and forgiveness in democracy | Marc Bamuthi Joseph and Wendy Whelan
Can art pave the way for a politically divided nation to move forward?
Artist, cultural strategist and TED Fellow Marc Bamuthi Joseph reflects on the role of art, forgiveness and remembrance in the pursuit of public healing β especially at a time when trust is contested and community forums fractured.
Wendy Whelan, associate artistic director of the New York City Ballet, joins him on stage for a rendition of βThe Carnival of the Animals,β exploring how the cuckoo bird exemplifies the cycles of inaction that lead to injustice.
It's more than a performance β it's a reckoning.
