Drawing on her work in areas such as environmental advocacy, anti-fracking efforts, and domestic violence prevention, she will explore how artists can serve as catalysts for civic engagement and collective change. Join Natalie Merchant in conversation with Deborah Sunya Moore, Chautauqua Institution Sr. Vice President and Chief Program Officer. There will be ample time for Q & A after their dialogue.
