Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

For much of this week Democracy Now! has broadcast from the Creative Time Summit at the Venice Biennale in Italy. We interviewed Okwui Enwezor, the first African-born Chief Curator of Venice Biennale and several artists from around the world. Enwezor has been widely credited for bringing political art back to the 120-year-old festival. On Tuesday, Amy Goodman delivered a keynote address at the conference, which is devoted to exploring the intersection of art and social justice. You can watch her speech below, and all of our coverage highlighted on this page.
