So Boom, Check It: Our Strength Is Numbers

A group exhibition exploring the tension between performance, beauty, power, resistance and identity during America's 250th anniversary
About this Event

During the Fourth of July holiday weekend, a group of artists and publishers will gather on Governors Island to share their editions of prints, books, and zines. Though the island holds great significance in the history of the American Revolution and the gathering coincides with a national celebration of independence from imperial rule, the market forms as a tribute to something more profoundly universal: the refusal to be overlooked or silenced. Reproduction and distribution of the defiant word has been at the core of revolution as long as the printing press has existed. With backgrounds that transcend art, street culture, music, night life, mutual aid, and community organizing, this cohort creates testament to the power of our creative spirit. At pivotal points throughout history, sharing the printed word begins the momentum of collective ability to foment positive change in our world.
