Same Wavelength

Michael Sokol

Same Wavelength is a conversation series with artists exploring the relationship between their creative work and our current political moment. Guided by the notion that curiosity, empathy, and listening are catalysts towards a better understanding of ourselves and our society, Same Wavelength is an exploration of histories – cultural and personal – as a means to reframe our present moment through the artist’s lens.
