16 Acts of Artistic Resistance Happening This Weekend
"Cultural workers across the United States and beyond are presenting hundreds of events this weekend as part of Fall of Freedom, an art and activism series staged against the dramatic political backdrop of President Trump's creeping authoritarianism. Exhibitions, performances, interventions, and more will begin on Friday, November 21, and run through the weekend. Some are on view much longer, interpreting the "urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance" for months to come."
"Curated by Rachel Raphaela Gugelberger, this show coalesces various research-driven creative practices rooted in illuminating and reclaiming suppressed histories. Among the featured artists are Nicholas Galanin, Alicia Grullon, Yevgeniy Fiks, Dread Scott, Kenneth Tam, and the late Nona Faustine - each known for restaging harsh American truths and what they've yielded for marginalized populations across the country through photo, video, sculpture, installation, and reinterpreted archival materials."
