Panel Discussion: Community Collaborations
Community-based art is a hyphenated field in which artists collaborate with people whose lives directly inform the subject matter to express collective meaning, help participants find their voice, and build community.

Panelists: Petruska Bazin Larsen (The Laundromat Project), Katie Kline (ICP), Leah Cohen (Red Hook Justice Project), Lorie Novak (NYU) and teen photographers
