MacArthur Fellow RICK LOWE (Project Row Houses)
Keynote Speaker, Open Engagement Conference, #OE2015 Takeaways: Our task as socially-engaged artists is to bring into focus social and community projects that society has lost the capacity to see. Deep listening - Before we act, we need to know the community in which we are working. We need to communicate with and hear our community partners. We need to learn how to see a place versus focusing on "making" a place. It takes courage for us to do this work. Whenever we take a stand, we WILL get our ass-kicked by someone. Thank our critics for the lessons they provided us and keep going. We need to muster the courage to claim the things we believe in.
