And, they will have a conversation with Sali Heráldez, Creative Director and Founder of SolArt Gallery and Design and, SolArt Radio. Their mission -promote solidarity through all the arts. SolArt believes that art and politics are not mutually exclusive and that they are most successful when they are brought together.
