Join us for a conversation on the transformative power of art in international relations. Cornell Professor Penny Von Eschen and Jonathan Hollander, founder of Battery Dance Company, will consider the historical context of the fluctuating commitments toward funding the arts on the part U.S. government, and argue that the U.S. has benefited enormously in the moments when it has embraced creative exchange through the arts as a fundamental part of its diplomacy and its representations of the U.S. in the world.
