Creative Time’s year-long program Democracy in America: The National Campaign culminates in the Convergence Center: a major exhibition, participatory project space, and meeting hall mounted in New York City’s Park Avenue Armory just in time for election season.

I shot the video early Sunday afternoon before the performers and speakers were scheduled. The unidentified Karaoke guy at the end was the only person with guts enough to lay it all on the line while I was there. The video includes an interview with Chitra Ganesh talking about Index of the Disappeared.
