Covid-19 Statement: During these challenging times of Coronavirus, we understand the apprehension about making plans to attend a conference which may require air travel and a hotel stay—and is still five months away. Given the feedback we are receiving from our members, we are developing plans to ensure that everyone will have an opportunity to participate in the AATA 2020 Conference in some shape or form, be it in person or virtually. Read more about our contingency planning. We have revised our refund policy to protect attendees in the event that AATA would need to cancel the in-person event. Explore the conference website for information about the program and how to register for the in-person event. Additional information about the virtual conference offering including registration details will be forthcoming later this summer or fall.

We are pleased to announce Candy Chang as our Featured Keynote Presenter!

Candy Chang is an artist who believes our shared spaces can play a vital role in reshaping how we see one another and ourselves. Her participatory public art invites people to share their inner lives through anonymous, handwritten responses that form an honest portrait of our emotional health as individuals and as a community. After the death of a loved one, she created the public art project Before I Die, which reimagines the ways the walls of our cities can help us grapple with mortality and meaning as a society today. The Atlantic called it “one of the most creative community projects ever,” and over 5,000 Before I Die walls have since been created by residents in over 75 countries. Her recent work includes a museum installation that collected and displayed over 50,000 anxieties and hopes from people in New York City, and a public ritual in Los Angeles for reflecting on resentment, judgment, and doubt. She is a TED Senior Fellow, Urban Innovation Fellow, and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and her work has been exhibited in museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, and Tate Modern.
