Event Details
After public mass shootings, the national gun debate consists of predictable talking points that focus on the object and neglect the underlying causes. However, firearms are unlike other objects. For some Americans, they are the symbols of personal identity and community. For others, they represent racial oppression and violence. Taking a non-partisan approach American Totem explores America’s emotional connection to firearms, and its power to both create and destroy community.
