Three artists from three generations, Black Panther Party graphic artist Emory Douglas, Dread Scott and Orlando Smith, talk about turning political urgency into images. Each currently has a show in San Francisco, and Bay Area artist and curator Rio Yañez moderates. Tickets are pay-what-you-choose, with a free RSVP tier, which makes it an accessible pick for anyone interested in art and politics.
