DESCRIPTION:The Redford Center presents The Art of Activism, featuring a conversation 
 with Robert Redford \n\nFrom its new headquarters in Berkeley, the Redford 
 Center announces its inaugural Bay Area event and the first in a series 
 called "The Art of Activism" aimed at celebrating the work of individuals 
 who are having a significant impact in people's live. The Redford Center 
 seeks to inspire positive social and environmental change through the arts, 
 education, and civil discourse.  \n\nIts opening program on February 4th at 
 the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas will be a multi-faceted evening designed to 
 explore what motivates people to get involved in issues of great 
 importance. It will include a conversation with Mr. Robert Redford, led by 
 the Redford Center's Executive Director Lee Bycel, and will pay tribute to 
 the work of two extraordinary Bay Area activists,  Victor Diaz and Avery 
 Hale, nominated by their communities.  The evening will culminate with a 
 call to action for all participants.\n\nMr. Redford will reflect on his 
 more than 40-year commitment to social and environmental activism, and 
 engage in a dialogue about what it means for him to be an activist.  "We 
 believe activism is an art form unto itself," says Executive Director 
 Bycel.  Over the years Mr. Redford has advocated his view of art-driven 
 activism through many Sundance initiatives including "Greenhouse Glasnost" 
 (1989) and the 2005-2007 "Sundance Summits: Mayors' Gatherings on Climate 
 Protection."  His populist approach and support for grassroots activists 
 and emerging artists is legendary. \n\n"I believe that art enlivens social 
 change in a way that nothing else will.  And I believe that the youth of 
 our country have a particular stake and a fresh perspective that has to be 
 encouraged and taken seriously," affirms Mr. Redford.\n
