Signs of Dissent Exhibition Opening

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.

This purposeful and timely exhibition is accompanied by a month of community engagement and cultural programing, where Blackfish Gallery will host a series workshops and performances. Complimenting the work and building the frameworks for action, these collaborations embrace the strength and passion of creative resistance.
