Guest: Asiyah Kurtz, Director for Camden FireWorks

The arts play a critical role in shaping and renewing cultural assets within communities. From public art like murals and sculptures to participatory events like group performances (e.g., die-ins), the arts demonstrate how creative action helps us unlock new perspectives on old realities. Camden FireWorks director, Asiyah Kurtz (MACS ’22), discusses how her organization uses community arts to spark social change in Camden, New Jersey.
