The Big Idea: Guerrilla Theater
Absurd, ridiculous fun. It’s Abbie Hoffman throwing dollar bills onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to watch the scramble in 1967. It’s the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army bouncing into “clownarchy” to protest the Iraq War in 2003, confusing authorities and inviting mockery of their repression. It’s the Portland Frog Brigade wearing inflatables outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility to protest raids and deportations. It’s creating irresistible images to cut through the spectacle of modern life.
