What does it take to work toward representational justice? And how do artists and arts workers carry forward this work? Inspired by the Vision & Justice volume of Aperture magazine, join us for an hour-long conversation with Simone Eccleston as we hear her insights and perspective on her role bringing hip hop and contemporary music to one of the largest arts institutions in the nation, and how investment in representation requires infrastructure and imagination for justice.

With responses from Yuval Sharon, Michigan Opera Theatre, Tina Olsen, UMMA (University of Michigan Museum of Art).
