FACTSHEET: Activism is NOT a crime.
“FACT SHEET: Activism is Not a Crime,” showcases 30 posters by artists in the U.S. and the Philippines about human rights violations in the Philippines. It is inspired by Bay Area’s Social Serigraphy movement that started in the 1960s, as well as by the works and ideas of Artist Arrest, an art collective in the Philippines. FACT SHEET shows how art can be used as a social practice to form alliances and mobilize, from a single person to an entire nation.
