The Citizens Journal
"The Citizens Journal" is a civic engagement magazine founded by Performance Studies B.A. Candidate Akeem Muhammad and published by The Citizens Press Institute, a student-run an action civics think tank.
This October, "The Citizens Journal" is facilitating two experimental roundtable discussions. The roundtables are inter-community dialogues contributing to a better understanding of the relationship between storytelling, representation, and surveillance in the today's artistic and political climate. Both are designed to actively engage audience participants throughout the discussion. Visit www.thecitizens.press for more information.
