The Four Moods of Voting, Bandana By Christine Sun Kim Artists Band Together is a pro-democracy political rebellion in the form of artist-designed bandanas. From the American Revolution to Harriet Tubman and the abolitionist movement to Rosie the Riveter, bandanas have played an important role as a historical symbol in the struggle for freedom. In the midst of a global pandemic and a powerful civic awakening, our artists’ bandanas seek to carry that spirit into the future as a sign of our collective commitment to democratic values. As Americans band together to demand justice in the streets, we also have to make sure that our voices are heard at the ballot box in November. All proceeds from Artists Band Together bandana purchases will be donated to nonprofit organizations working year-round in communities to empower voices and get out the vote. The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy. And we must use it. – Rep. John Lewis (1940 – 2020) About The Artist: Christine Sun Kim uses the medium of sound in performance and drawing to investigate her relationship with spoken languages and her aural environment. Selected exhibitions and performances have been held at: MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge (solo); Ghebaly, Los Angeles (solo); White Space, Beijing (solo); Carroll/Fletcher, London (solo); De Appel, Amsterdam (solo); Serralves Museum, Porto; Sound Live Tokyo; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Berlin and Shanghai Biennials; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1, New York.

John Lewis (1940 – 2020) About The Artist: Barbara Kruger is one of the most influential artists of her generation.

Kruger is represented in many museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim, New York; and Tate Modern, London. Kruger lives and works in Los Angeles and New York. Kruger is a Distinguished Professor of New Genres at the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture.

NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL OR POWERFUL THAN INCLUSIVITY The U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that the existing federal law forbids job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender status. This is a victory for us all. x

Your life mattered. May you Rest in Peace George.
I CAN’T BREATHE. I watched the video of George Floyd being tortured and murdered in broad daylight. I watched IN DISBELIEF but many in this country did not. They witness and experience this as part of their everyday lives. A riot is the language of the unheard, Martin Luther King Jr. once said. I hear you. I see you. And I will not be silent. GEORGE FLOYD. SAY HIS NAME. #justiceforfloyd Petitions @colorofchange @changedotorg Text ‘FLOYD’ to 551 56
