Visual Resistance

The Visual Resistance collective will be participating in a panel at the upcoming And So Forth conference — our panel is called In the Eye of the Passerby: A Discussion on Street Art. The conference looks fantastic, and will be held January 22-23 at the Office Ops space in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Here’s more information from the release:

And So Forth: A Post-Inaugural Assembly is an out-of-the-ordinary conference on arts and activism presented by Amnesty International Firefly Project, THAW, Art is Permitted Everywhere, and FELT.

ASF was conceived as a response to the incredible profusion of engaged artistic projects, performances, and events that have been created in New York City this past year. The election is over, but our underlying social justice concerns in the US and elsewhere haven’t disappeared?we’ve still got work to do. ASF is an opportunity for artists and activists of all sorts to come together to teach and discuss innovative, creative methods for raising social and political consciousness and effecting change. Please join us in celebrating past successes, evaluating past failures, and discussing what’s next.

Featuring:
+ two days of panels, workshops and interactive discussions
+ a gallery exhibition juried by Aspara DiQuinzio and Christina Kukielski of the Whitney Museum
+ a film and video festival
+ a free post-conference resource guide featuring panel transcripts, artist bios, and activist resources

Here are some of the artists and organizations who will be present: Peter Kuper, Circus Amok, Mariam Ghani, Chitra Ganesh, Yury Gitman, UnionDocs, Blackkat, The Onion, David Rees, The Civilians, Gigantic Art Space, Andrea Liu, Marc Lepson, Dread Scott, Najla Said, Sophia Skiles, Music for America, Stephan Smith, Jazz Against War, Promotheus Radio Project, Paper Tiger Television, Soft Skull Press, Barbara Hammer, Globalvision, WITNESS, Apsara DiQuinzio, Tina Kukielski, and many more.
