Graffiti as Witness: The Art and Activism of a Quaker Pirate

Join Friend Todd Drake as he shares his lifelong journey and witness as a visual artist and social justice activist. Drake’s practice of witnessing and facing life’s great sadnesses with creative practice offers us all another North Star on our own journeys. He will speak to how he has been shaped by this practice, from making art with children in the West Bank to posting graffiti on the streets of New York City. Todd will also share about his exhibit, “Leading in Linocut – The Graffiti Prints of a Quaker Pirate,” currently on display at Pendle Hill.

This and our other First Monday Lectures are streamed live and available as recordings on our YouTube channel, Pendle Hill USA.
