What Was Liberalism?
April 14 at 7PM Robby Herbst will talk!

What Was Liberalism? is an illustrated talk by Robby Herbst reflecting on liberalism and the participatory Model Cities program developed by Lyndon Johnson (President ‘63 -‘69). Using a lens of participatory art, we can look at the models fostered by Model Cites, and speculate what America might look like if it invested in genuinely democratic power.

Robby Herbst is an artist, writer, and organizer with a history of critically interpreting social and political movements. He’s a recent transplant from Los Angeles to New York. In 2021 he developed a visual arts project in association with LAPD’s play The New Compassionate Downtown.
