MORE INFO:

Our LIVE ROUNDTABLE is hosted by Eat Me, a cannabis femme art tech collective. They will be joined by several Artists and Activists from around New York. (Final lineup subject to change.)

Together we'll ponder: what does Currency mean in the Age of Aquarius? Artists and Activists both share a vision of a more loving and elevated city, of strong communities with real justice. But doing this work is often impossible when you're hustling just to keep a roof over your head.

Can you avoid "selling out", and how do you stay true to your values and your community? Whether you call yourself an artist, an activist, or anything else, this discussion will create space where we can exchange ideas and learn from each other.
