Episode 5: Art & Organizing

As we collectively struggle for a better world, it can often be difficult to truly envision what we are creating. Thankfully, in Seattle we are surrounded by artists and creatives that can give us visual representations of this better world. This month, Nourish host Nica Sy joins local artist Lourdez Velasco to talk about the intersection between art and organizing.
