Austin Community College District (ACC) invites students to a virtual conversation about gun violence, culture, and how art can spark real dialogue. The event is part of the art exhibition at ACC’s Highland Campus titled ‘American Roulette–Austin: Navigating Gun Culture in our Violent Society.’
“This exhibition and event are not about taking sides. They’re about creating a space for dialogue, empathy, and understanding,” says Peter Bonfitto, Director of Galleries and Exhibition Programming.
