Join the 90 minute community discussion focused on two countries that have faced similar histories of war and political unrest, Democratic Republic of Congo and Myanmar/Burma.

The discussion highlights two artists from these countries, Saw Kennedy and Jean Claude Lofenia. They share their work to demonstrate how seeing life through the lens of another nourishes the spirit of empathy.

This event is hosted by Patchwork Indy and The Indianapolis Public Library.

About the branch

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
