Community Dialog & Closing Party: Saturday, October 22nd, 2011 7:00PM to 11:00PM. Art for Change 1699 Lexington Avenue, Lower Level(Between 106th & 107th Street )
Community Dialog followed by live performances and DJ
Inspired by the Middle East uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia and the DREAM Act movement in the U.S. , Millennial Yell! explores the distinct characteristics of new waves of socio-political movements sweeping across the globe sparked by youth of the millennial generation. Ironically, the end of the show coincides with the one-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street protests, indicating the importance of this exhibition and foreshadowing the role of the Millennials, our twenty-something years old generation, in leading social and political change in the future.
- How are the youth of the millennial generation redefining activism and revolution? How preference for individual action among today’s young people would change the traditional institutions of the socio-political systems in the U.S.
- Are these movements engaging all social classes? Or, are these sporadic fads of the technological savvy educated middle class?
- Race, religion and class played vital roles in shaping the revolutions of past generations. Would these concepts fuel the fights of the Millennials or are there going to emerge new ideals?
The dialog seeks to further discuss these and other questions and to celebrate current youth-led movements such the current OWS with live performances and music.
Joins us for a fun inspiring night of art and social justice!!!!!
