Talking to Action investigates contemporary, community-based social art practices in the United States and Latin America while attempting to build a direct dialogue with artists and researchers across the hemi-sphere to discuss shared concerns, issues, and art practices. The artists in Talking to Action explore a range of transdisciplinary practices, blurring the lines between object making, political and environmental activism, community organizing, and performance.

Talking to Action will be on view at Pratt Manhattan Gallery from September 27 - December 14, 2019. Read more about the exhibition here.
