Alexis Posey, Chief Campaign Officer at The Center for Cultural Power and Political Director of the Cultural Engagement Lab, talks with Deepak Puri of The Democracy Labs about how narratives impact voter opinions. The Cultural Engagement Lab commissions a network of artists and creative people from underserved communities to use their storytelling skills to support advocates, candidates, and civic engagement efforts. All activities aim to bridge the gap between cultural and political organizing to reach people of all ages.
Deepak and Alexis talk about:
- How experienced artists are creating more compelling campaign messages
- Integrating a cultural strategy into campaigns to drive social justice
- How to engage a multi-cultural coalition
- Understanding communities at the local level needed to tell compelling narratives
- Influencing policy through creative visual and audio depictions of the story to engage voters in the issue
