Beyond Outrage

Feeling under assault? Like the increase in hate is drowning everything else out?

In Beyond Outrage, hosted by WNYC’s Arun Venugopal, we’ll step back and explore the ways in which art, wit and whimsy can restore humanity, and just get us through another day. Through live performances, world-class clapbacks and viral videos, we’ll reimagine ways to counteract hate and violence, individually and as a collective.

Guests include actor and storyteller Kayhan Irani and comedian Nore Davis.

Her published work includes Telling Stories to Change the World: Global Voices on the Power of Narrative to Build Community and Make Social Justice Claims (Routledge) and Culturally Relevant Arts Education for Social Justice: A Way Out of No Way (Routledge).
