Coco Fusco, a Cuban American artist and activist, is responding to the potential for another Trump presidency with a new newspaper called The Siren, which aims to challenge tyranny with humor. Inspired by an exhibition at the Met that showcased printmaking's role in resisting fascism, Fusco collaborated with Pablo Helguera and Noah Fischer to create a platform for political cartoons. The publication features contributions from notable artists like Lalo Alcaraz and Isabella Bannerman, who use satire to comment on Trump's policies and persona in a creative and engaging manner.
Fusco emphasized the power of political art, stating that the publication aims to 'laugh at the expense of tyranny' and resist oppressive regimes.
Fusco noted inspiration from the 'Mexican Prints at the Vanguard' exhibition, acknowledging the vital role of creative expression in combating fascism.
