Did you make one of those creative, poignant, angry, sublime, ironic,
raging signs we have been seeing in the recent Iraq protests? Did you
labor over a handmade banner at all the anti-sweatshop marches? Did you
make some amazing anti-Bush sign that has only been seen by your fellow
protesters?
Now is the time to show them in a museum!
This autumn, the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest is organizing an
exhibition at the Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) across the street
from the LA Brea Tar Pits and LACMA. The exhibition is entitled "Street
Signs and Solar Ovens: social craft in LA". The exhibit highlights both
protest crafts (banners, activist lock-boxes, guerilla posters,
placards, puppets), crafts gone political (sweaters with slogans) and
utopian technologies (solar ovens, bikes, bio-desiel cars, bike
bags...)
