Life in Progress Video Series!
See all three programs on YouTube: Playlist >
Life in Progress Video Series showcases work that expresses definitions and/or critiques of “progress.” This series seeks to explore the concept of progress with our work, our art, in our communities, and as human beings — both in the city and the world. Through art that provokes, challenges, or illustrates progress, the series examines what is actual progress, what some consider progress, and what is not. AnySquared’s video series is part of the LIP 20/20 Arts Festival
