In 2026, we’ll begin our 5th season of Creativists in Dialogue: Creativity Across a Changing DC - Generations, which is funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. This series promises to be a fascinating exploration of how events have changed the city and its people.
Until then, we’ll continue to repost interviews from our Creativity and Difference series. Today, we have the distinct pleasure of welcoming both our Guest Host, Lara Azar, and our Interviewee, Arzoo Malhotra.
