Exhibition Date: March 6 – April 13
Opening Reception: Thursday March 6 – 8pm
A new form of creative activism has surfaced within urban centers across the world. No longer interested in marching with signs and negotiating with bureaucratic structures, this new wave fosters stewardship for one’s neighborhood and community. Artists, activists and community members are taking their issues to the streets and engaging in new creative forms of activism. They are directing their energy towards collaboratively building new visions for livable cities—they are taking civic improvement into their own hands.
People are: painting their own bike lanes—where before there were none, guerrilla gardening in orphaned spaces, and mapping surveillance free walks in downtown areas. Some artists, activists, architects, urban planners and other creatives have stopped asking for policy changes from their governments and are creating change through social engagement and intervention.
