On October 23-24, 2009, Creative Time hosted a summit at the New York Public Library. The event featured 37 artist presentations on their relationship to politics, communities, and activism and how art can change lives and policy. In this segment recorded on the opening night, Creative Time director Anne Pasternak opens the event, curator Nato Thompson sets the context and introduces keynote speaker Amy Goodman. Finally, the Leonore Annenberg Prize for Art and Social change is presented to The Yes Men, who discuss their film The Yes Men Fix the World, their recent intervention at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and generally lay out their philosophy (47 minutes).
