Artistic Methods and Democratic Practice 

Man in button-up shirt

Dr. Andrew Zitcer (Drexel University) is animated by the question of what unites arts, urbanism and democracy? 

In 2024-2025 he co-organized events in cities across North America and Europe, bringing together artists, scholars, students and activists to explore themes raised by the new book Democracy as Creative Practice: Weaving a Culture of Civic Life. The book and events explore how we practice democracy as both a method of inquiry and product of collaborative, improvisatory practice. 

Dr. Zitcer will share learnings from this journey, as well as reflect on his community engaged teaching and research in Philadelphia over the last 25 years.
