(Dis)comfort of Community: An intersection of art & activism | Kristen van Ginhoven | TEDxNorthA

The more Kristen van Ginhoven works at the intersection of arts and activism, the more she recognizes how being part of the white, cisgender, able-bodied, middle class, heterosexual community is a privilege in which she can no longer afford to be comfortable. If we truly want to be change-makers and contribute to a community of empathy, equity and belonging, we must learn how to tolerate our discomfort. Listen as Kristen shares her uncomfortable and unexpected journey towards a personal and professional awakening.
