Discussion Topic: The Future of Imagination
Orozco bore witness to the Mexican Revolution and chose, in the New School murals, to depict “revolutions revolving around the periphery of the European center.” Which revolutions would you choose to depict on these walls today?
Re-Imagining Orozco Panel Discussion

The lively discussion focused around three general core topics as they relate to the mural: How have the issues concerning identity and power changed, and how would this effect who sits at the table? What are the pressing differences and conflicts that need to be negotiated today, and ultimately how does a re-imagined table address these new conflicts? In an increasing fragmented and polarized culture, has the idea of a salon, such as the Delphic Circle, where conflicting philosophies can be fervently discussed become obsolete?
