Role of Art, Emotion, and Social Action

I was most recently at a Sundance documentary showing in Salt Lake City of Aggie, a documentary of a woman who uses her influence in art to move social justice and socioeconomic issues.



Agnes Gund, an art collector and philanthropist, is portrayed to have an open heart and champions the use of iconic artwork as a means to achieve social change. She starts multiple organizations in inner city New York schools and a mass incarceration project to emphasize how artwork and social change are inter-related.
