The conversations we want — and  need — to be having.

A project by the U.S. Dept of Arts & Culture

When political repression is on the rise, the creative spirit must rise with it.

Vital Conversations is a multimedia series that aims to answer the question: If we’re all we’ve got, what are the lessons we can learn from each other?

Join us in conversation with the truth-tellers and culture-bearers shaping our collective future.
