WE ARE THE SCHOOL OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP

In a time of crisis art and artists can provide new ways to look for solutions. Artists – as citizens of the world – are equipped and have the vision to craft, invent, build, shape, repair, restore, restructure, reframe, and resuscitate political discourse and social justice.

We believe art is a powerful platform that gives voice for civic action and social change. Our goal is to combine art and activism as foundations for participation in this election year.

Artists have the power to shape the narrative and help alter the course of history through visual art, photography, poetry and music.

An artist must also be an activist… That doesn’t mean they have to demonstrate in street protests, …to be blind to human struggle – one cannot even be called an artist.
– Ai Weiwei, Artist

In a global world, we should be citizens. Dignity has no nationality.
– Tania Bruguera, Artist
