On Self Expression and Vulnerability
What’s the risk when we ex-
press ourselves through music,
painting and other art forms?
What do we give up and what
do we gain crafting something?
Join slam poetry champion
and hip-hop performer Jason
Graham to explore the relation-
ship between self-expression
and vulnerability when he gives
the talk “What We Risk,” on
Saturday, March 18 at 1 p.m. in
Roger Rook, Room 220, on the Jason Graham
Clackamas Community College
campus, 19600 Molalla Ave.
Graham is a Chicago-born,
Oregon-based artist and educa-
tor who has shared the stage with
the likes of Ghostface Killah,
Saul Williams and Talib Kweli.
This free event is an Ore-
gon Humanities conversation
project with the support of the
National Endowment for the
Humanities and the Oregon
Cultural Trust.
