Preview: Diana Thater in Season 8 of ART21 "Art in the Twenty-First Century" (2016)

I want us to find different ways to think
through living

and different ways to construct power.

How do we think about the natural world

in a way that doesn't destroy it?

I think all artists want to change the world.

I hope all artists want to change the world.

And if there's any place that we can imagine
a different world,

it's through art, it's through literature,
it's through film.

And I'm completely willing to say it.

And maybe if I'm willing to say it,
other artists will say it, too,

that, you know, come the revolution,
I'm going to be ready.
