Gallery 3

A revolutionary exhibition featuring artwork created with social activism as its inspiration. Dubbed “socialcraft”, the objects on display are examples of unique artworks utilized by communities and individuals in their quest for social change. Street Signs and Solar Ovens will feature protest art meant for public display such as hand-crafted demonstration signs, posters, t-shirts, as well as examples of instruments for socially-conscious living such as eco-friendly appliances.

Curated by Marc and Robby Herbst, of the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest editorial collective (Cara Baldwin, Marc Herbst, Robby Herbst, Christina Ulke). CAFAM also is collaborating with institutions including the Center for the Study of Political Graphics and the Center for the Preservation of Democracy.
