an antiwar, revolutionary gallery show and party for the people
Friday, June 20, 2003, 7:30 pm, $5
Revolutionary art is ours! At a time when our freedoms of speech are being restricted and corporate control of expression abounds, revolution can be as simple as giving art away. The artists in this show, from the Bay Area all the way to Canada, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York and Chicago, are using their voices against war and consumerism — not for money, but for you. The celebration will include revolutionary music, video, poetry, and performances by local artists who refuse to shut up, including the blissful rock of Diskarte Namin, heart-wrenching harmonies of Samsara, and a sneak preview trailer for Art as Revolution, a not-for-profit documentary project about political artists in the BayArea. Via free raffle, audience members will take home all of the Free Art! originals straight from the gallery walls. Post-party, the visual and text-based work will be placed in the public domain, and will be downloadable online for anyone to use. More information: http://artistactionnetwork.org.
