Building a community of artist activists: Misra Walker at TEDxMidAtlantic
Misra Walker is currently a junior at Cooper Union and is a Fine Arts Major. Her work blurs the line between activism and art by interrogating the history and politics that make up the backbone of her community. She is the founder of The House of Spoof, an art collective in Hunts Point, The Bronx, that hosts gallery shows for emerging artists and provides free art classes for the community in honor of their friend Glenn "Spoof" Wright who passed away in 2009.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Jonathan Jensen but activist based artists destroy communities and deconstruct cultures as well as it can build the community up it can tear it down... its tragic that activism infest the art community but it’s not surprising since the South American and Latin American society infested America which brought this activism based art into reality... it was all started by Latin America with Spanish empire ruling much is Latin America... that’s how it all ended up so corrosive...
This is so inspirational! Love it!!
Wonderful willpower and purpose :)
