Formed by Laurie Anderson, Laura Michalchyshyn, and Tanya  Selvaratnam, The Federation is an unprecedented coalition of individuals  and organizations that believe in the power of art and are committed to  keeping cultural borders open. We are committed to combatting  xenophobia and the threatened closing of physical borders.  <!--more-->  For the launch, The Federation is partnering with the Film Society of  Lincoln Center to host a free NYFF Live conversation during the New York  Film Festival on October 11, 2017 at 7 p.m. in the Elinor Bunin Munroe  Film Center\u2019s Amphitheater. Panelists include Federation and New York  Film Festival artists such as Alsarah, Laurie Anderson, Tanya  Selvaratnam, Sara Driver, Eugene Hernandez, Kali Holloway, Emel  Mathlouthi, Barbet Schroeder, and the conversation will culminate with a  performance by the Resistance Revival Chorus.

For Art Action Day,  the coalition will encourage artists and cultural organizations to be  louder and more visible than ever.
