How Arts Organizing Shut Down the WTO: Join Art and Revolution to learn how arts organizing and artists and performers were at the center of the mass nonviolent direct-action that led to the shutdown and collapse of the 1999 Seattle WTO Summit. From Art and Revolution mass skill share gatherings in the years leading up, to public art builds, giant puppets, street theater and pageants, song and music, performing roadshows and more, explore a re-thinking of what public resistance looks and sounds like.
Hands on Art Making: Participants will learn techniques for using cut paper to make signs for use in paste-up art, screen printing or stenciling. Signs will be made around the theme of “Fund Communities, Not War” or participants’ own messages.
Note: No one turned away for lack of funds while tickets are available. Email programs@mohai.org to attend at no cost.
