Back to All Events

Blackfish Gallery - Panel Discussion - Signs of Dissent

Group Show - Signs of Dissent
Reflecting on current events, and the rise of a new totalitarian aesthetic, in Signs of Dissent, Blackfish artists respond with a month long affirmation of cultural resilience and artistic freedom. Building out of the long tradition of artist-as-activist, Signs of Dissent addresses both emergent political threats, and the often longstanding structures that empower them. Confronting the reemergence of 20th century specters of xenophobia and ultranationalist authoritarianism, Signs of Dissent reasserts the power of art in shaping the future.
