Pro-Migrant Artists Gather For UndocuNation

May 16, 2014 Staff, www.creativeresistance.org ,
From CreativeResistance.org: Grammy winning & nominated musicians, visual artists, performers, and local community members will host the 5th Undocunation, a traveling arts and music festival that both uplifts migrant stories and speaks out against unjust immigration laws that separate families and discriminate against LGBTQ communities and people of color. The Undocunation event is rooted in the conviction that art, music and creativity can transform the debate around immigration. UndocuNation seeks to uplift creative activism and provide communities with the tools to address threats to civil liberties at the intersection of our nation’s most pressing social justice issues. Art and culture, together with community organizing, is a powerful vehicle to advance the rights of marginalized people and diminish the impact of discriminatory activity at the local level. History shows that when culture changes, politics follows.

Artist Goes To Kickstarter To Publish Occupy Portraits

May 10, 2014 Annie Appel, www.kickstarter.com ,
Photos of activists and their hopes for change. The Occupy Portraits is ready to publish, if you take action and donate now. When the Occupy protests began, I was inspired to contribute my best efforts. As a documentary photographer, this is my activism: to offer these images in the hope that their chronicle of a movement will inspire others to continue to act boldly in the cause of universal justice. This 572-page book of portraits documents activists from the Occupy movement in twelve cities across the United States - people like you and me, the 99%. In the interest of historical accuracy, everyone I photographed is included, presented in chronological sequence, and paired with their answer to my question, "What would you change first to make this a better world?" "Annie Appel's photographs have given an identity to anonymous American citizens fighting for what is guaranteed in the US Constitution: a responsive and responsible government actively accommodating the needs of the people. Her subjects have literally stopped the presses and made the silent majority consider that participation and protest is vital to maintaining a democracy." Cooper Sy (writer/director)

BP Vikings Invade British Museum

May 4, 2014 Staff, www.CreativeResistance.org , , , ,
From CreativeResistance.org: Theatrical protest group the Reclaim Shakespeare Company has invaded the British Museum and held a surprise performance challenging BP’s sponsorship of the popular Vikings exhibition. The performance aimed to point out the irony in the fact that an oil company accused of recklessly plundering natural resources is sponsoring an exhibition about some of history’s most famous looters and pillagers. The performance came shortly after the same group launched a spoof Viking film based on the exhibition’s promotional trailer, and a petition calling for an end to the British Museum’s BP sponsorship deal, which is up for renewal in 2017. A large crowd of museum-goers gathered to watch the performance. Security guards looked on, but did not interfere. After the performance, several people dressed as Vikings stayed inside the museum to hand outanti-BP flyers to the public, and the cast performed again outside the museum.
