You Are Democracy: Flourishing Community Meetings

Working together, Bard College's Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities, The Assembly Project, People’s Creative Institute , Columbia World Projects, and The Civic Engagement Commission in collaboration with Powerhouse Arts are excited to present “You Are Democracy: A Series on Collective Power," a three-part event series focused on democracy beyond elections. This series will include a film screening, model civic assembly, and a celebratory reimagining of a public meeting.

Join us for an evening that reimagines what civic life can feel like. Flourishing Community Meetings is a warm, art-infused gathering where neighbors, organizers, and dreamers come together to imagine the futures our city deserves. Over good food, live music, and guided creative exercises, participants will listen to visionary storytellers, reflect in small groups, and co-create bold civic ideas through fun and creative means. Together we’ll build a living “Manifesto of Possible Futures” — a collective snapshot of what becomes possible when creativity, community, and belonging shape public life. Come ready to dream, play, and co-author new possibilities for New York City.

Children welcome! Spanish interpretation provided!
