Resistance: The Power of Change
About This Event
Resistance: The Power of Change at David Geffen Hall brings together pianist-composer Conrad Tao with theater artist Fredara Hadley, historian Joanne B. Freeman and NYU historian Ruth Ben‑Ghiat. Tao's genre-crossing music, Hadley's work with cultural narratives, Freeman's forthcoming book on congressional violence and Ben‑Ghiat's research on authoritarianism frame an evening of music and spoken inquiry into political and cultural resistance.
