Centering Liberation Presents: ‘Let This Radicalize You…’
Join us for a political art show of West Michigan artists that centers on brutal conflicts, inequities, injustices, and oppression in our world. This series of shows contemplates our history and current events. The name of the show is inspired by the quote by Mariame Kaba: "Let this radicalize you, rather than lead you to despair. Let's not go back; let's build something better."
