I first heard about the Amplifier Foundation when they released their ‘We The People’ campaign and I was immediately onboard. Art is something that holds a really special place in my life and I would consider it one of my top causes. I’m inspired by the power of art, especially in public spaces.
In this episode, Cleo is sharing more about the power of art to inspire action and create conversations. She’s giving us insight into her role as a curator and how Amplifier Foundation created a movement in a divisive time in American politics.
