Original Olio: A stand-alone class on a miscellaneous topic with time to drink and chat.
Join Brian Lewis as we discover the 9/11 inspired poetry of NYC author/activist, Sekou Sundiata, and tour the African Burial Grounds as part of the Think Olio x National Parks Series. We'll discuss the notion of 'A Thin Place', where past meets present and the idea of radical citizenship.
Brian Lewis teaches courses on the Black Arts Movement and Art Making and Civic Engagement at the New School. He is the director of programs and education at Exalt, an equitable future for court-involved youth.

Think Olio is here to put the liberation back into the liberal arts.
