SUMMARY:Spirit of Independence: Kent Bicentennial Portfolio
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of the 2024 Presidential election\, this special exhibition re-engages with the central question posed to 12 American artists by the Kent Bicentennial Program in 1976\, “What does independence mean to you?” \nThis was the question posed to 12 American artists by the Kent Bicentennial Program in 1976. Sponsored by the Lorillard Tobacco Company as a celebration of our country’s bicentennial year\, each artist was given the freedom to respond with their own interpretation of the question. The resulting portfolio presents twelve very different views of independence from the historical to the highly personal\, and from the theoretical to the symbolic. \nIn 2023\, as America continues to grapple with the lingering effects of a world-wide pandemic\, ongoing and rampant incidences of climate change\, racism\, sexism\, hate\, and divisive politics\, we ask: What does independence mean to you? What does it look like? Who is it for? Who has it? Who doesn’t? How does it function in your daily life? \nThis portfolio invites us to re-engage with this central question\, and founding ideology of American democracy\, as we enter into what will likely be yet another highly charged presidential election season in 2024. This exhibition is pulled from the Museum’s permanent collection and features work by Audrey Flack\, Fritz Scholder\, Jacob Lawrence\, Marisol Escobar\, Robert Indiana\, and Will Barnet\, among others. \nSpirit of Independence: Kent Bicentennial Portfolio is organized by Curator of Art Sarah Buhr. \nImage credit: Fritz Scholder\, Bicentennial Indian\, 1974-75\, Lithograph on paper. Gift of Lorillard Tobacco Co.\, in commemoration of the Bicentennial. Collection of the Springfield Art Museum.

SUMMARY:Civic Education in the AI Age
DESCRIPTION:Since the introduction of ChatGPT to the public in late 2022\, there has been no shortage of commentary about how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies will change all aspects of society\, from scientific discovery to employment to education and beyond. The impact of AI on civic education has received considerably less attention. How if at all will AI change civic education? Should it? \nThis event will aim to demystify these questions\, building on the work of the CivXNow Coalition Working Group on AI which convened regularly in fall 2023. Featuring thought leaders in both civic education and AI\, the panel will examine how the civic education field can leverage the power of AI tools to improve civic education outcomes. It will also consider how AI creates a sharper need for civic education to help students adapt to risks associated with AI. These include\, for example\, the growth of synthetic media used to undermine trust in democratic institutions and the online information environment. \nPanelists representing a range of perspectives will offer recommendations for educators\, researchers\, and policymakers. The goal is to use this event to pave the way for further engagement on this topic within the civic education community and with policymakers.

SUMMARY:Untangling the Tally: Media and Elections
DESCRIPTION:The media plays a fundamental role in any democracy\, and all eyes are on the news on Election Day. From traditional news anchors\, to independent reporters on Twitter\, we have minute to minute election updates available right at our fingertips. But this overabundance of information can easily lead to confusion\, misinformation\, and the creation of echo chambers. \nJoin our panel of experts: Mara Suttmann-Lea\, Asst. Prof. of American Politics at Connecticut College; Christine Stuart\, Editor at CT News Junkie; Belinha de Abreu\, President of the International Council for Media Literacy; and Jerrod Ferrari\, Director of Earned Media & Senior Account Manager at The Narrative Project who will discuss the role of news coverage and social media on Election day and the days leading up to it\, and how we can protect ourselves from disinformation and find trustworthy sources. Moderated by Anita Ford-Saunders\, Communication Strategist. \nThis program is pre-recorded. \nLearn more about the Connecticut Democracy Center’s Civic Learning Week programming at ctdemocracycenter.org/civic-learning-week.
