Artist and educator Wayne Miller’s presentation will focus on how artists can use their power in a time of chaos and uncertainty and will invite discussion from the audience.

As background to exploring opportunities for artists, Miller’s slide presentation will provide an historical context of art and power in various cultures.  Subjects include prehistoric art, MIT classrooms, power patronage, decoration, politics and art, examples of protest art, and the alternative of art for art's sake.
