For 20 years, CulturalDC has been making space for art. That includes physical places like galleries, theaters and affordable housing for artists. But it also includes making space in the conversation for art.\\xa0

In this brand new episode of the Cultural DC podcast, we sit with three arts leaders to reflect on CulturalDC\\u2019s latest film collaboration, Insurrection by Andres Serrano presented by a/political. Joining our podcast today are artist Andres Serrano and Art Curator Sylwia Serafinowicz, and CulturalDC Executive Director Kristi Maiselmann.

Sylwia Serafinowicz is Chief Curator at a/political, public speaker and writer based in London. Serafinowicz sees exhibitions and public programmes as a platform to advocate for human rights and against discrimination, inequality and violence. Serafinowicz graduated with a PhD in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art and an MA in History of Art from the University of Warsaw, Poland.\\xa0
