THANK YOU //

This week has been an amazing demonstration of community, artistry, democracy &, above all else, good citizenship. We wanted to share our deepest gratitudes to our audiences, performing artists, and streaming partners. We couldn’t have done it without you!

@LWVofWake is inviting artists to submit 2D work related to the themes of fair voting maps in North Carolina. They will be holding an online exhibition and offering a cash prize to contest winners! The submission deadline is Aug 15 ➡ https://t.co/F4CA6h5kpn

In our inauguration moment, a trio of moving-image works by Bani Abidi, Antoni Muntadas, Marshall Reese, and Artur Żmijewski exposes the ways in which video dominates—even determines—politics today.
