Join featured artist David Drebin for an engaging conversation exploring how identity shapes creativity. Known for his striking photography and diamond dust works, Drebin offers insight into the emotional drive behind his art.

Together, we’ll unpack key questions: Is all art born from the need to express our deepest emotions? Is creating art a need, a desire—or both? And how can art serve as a tool for healing, connection, and transformation?

This panel invites you into the heart of Drebin’s creative spirit—and the broader role of art in shaping how we see ourselves and the world around us.rogram.
