About the author: There is an art to every practice, activism included. It’s what distinguishes the innovative from the routine, the elegant from the mundane. One thing that can help the “art of activism” is applying an artistic aesthetic tactically, strategically, and organizationally. The practice of artistic activism has only accelerated in recent times, as savvy organizers learn to use the increasingly mediated political terrain of signs and symbols, stories and spectacles to their advantage. From Jesus’ parables to the Tea Party’s protests, working artfully makes activism effective.
Until now there has not been a singular space to share, discuss and analyze tactics and strategies of artistic activism. There has not been a place where researchers across a range of disciplines can gather to share their investigations and their challenges, a place where skilled practitioners in artistic activism can share their expertise and cultivate new tactics through cross-disciplinary collaboration. The Center for Artistic Activism fills this important need. Visit CAA's website HERE.
Free the Vaccine participants and others staged a carnival in London to bring attention to the need for an affordable “People’s Vaccine” for COVID-19. Pink-headed coronavirus figures were protected by patents from the syringe-wielding vaccinators. The fantastic costumes and storytelling shone bright against a dreary London day, and news outlets from the Telegraph to the […]

Don’t ever give up on your dream! As a Mother that is what you always wish for your child, that they never give up on their dreams! Amanda has turned to crowdfunding hoping she can get some help to continue her education. She applied and was accepted into Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London to get her Master’s degree. The program is very small and difficult to get into, so to be accepted with only one phone interview was very exciting! We are SO proud of her! Walking through a museum with Amanda is an amazing experience. She can tell you who the artist is, when it was painted, point out the smallest details and explain why the artist painted it that way. She’s amazing – she knows and loves so much about art. She needs her Master’s degree to continue in the direction of this career path. The Institute believed in her enough to defer her enrollment a year but our task is to get the funds and not rely on the student loan program, which will be tough. She has until July 31st of this year to muster up some sort of miracle so she can go this year. Either way we need help!!!!!! Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Trust me, she is worth every dollar and the art world will be a better place with her in it! I promise!!! Love to you all! Mom

About the author:
As a resident of the area, I am always struck by the way the boarded up fashion stores take on the appearance of failed businesses. Notting Hill looks like the opposite of what it is — a post-apocalyptic village in terminal decline.
