A couple of things I attended this month (an exhibit and a play) reminded me of art’s ability to educate and inform about social issues. I love how this exhibit is documenting activism and showcasing things people do to address human rights issues and inequality.
off the leash 
May this magnificent exhibit inspire others to rigorously support the cause for diversity, human rights and equality.
