Reading by Jerry Quickley
On May 12, 2002, artists gathered at
the Palace in Hollywood to create a joyous
declaration of defiance. ArtSpeaks! Not
In Our Name was the first major concert aggainst the
war, breaking through the suffocating atmosphere of war and repression - with
art, poetry and music.
The concert was a harbinger of things to come. From hip hop to the
philharmonic...from indy to studio filmmakers...from
underground poetry houses to the Lincoln Center...on graffiti and gallery
walls...poets, artists, actors, playwrights, dancers, novelists, musicians and
filmmakers would join in the creation of a culture of resistance that would
speak to millions
This film captures the beginning.
Presented by Displaced Films,
International Documentary Assocation,
the Artists Network of Refuse & Resist, the Not In
Our Name Project and KPFK 90.7 FM
