Making Art During Fascism
Saturday February 25,  11am–12pm
Led by Beth Pickens
LAABF Classroom

Artists are essential in resisting and dismantling fascism. Throughout history and through the present, you instigate, question, provoke; you provide humor, creative impulse, reflection, serenity, validation. In light of our country’s political swing toward white supremacy and hate, artists need the emotional, financial, physical, and spiritual support to sustain their work. At this event, and weekly at WCCW, you are invited to show up, listen, and share: support, resources, community-building and connecting, information, and methods to enter every movement. You will receive a free, written guide with tips for making art during fascism, which will also be available for purchase as WCCW’s booth.

Works for sale at our table:

The Furies
by Krista Buecking, Akina Cox, Gilda Davidian, Ariane Vielmetter and Esther Pearl Watson
43 pages, Risograph artist book.
The Furies explores voids and chasms, margins and marginalia, dead ends and ghost images, surfaces and holes. What connects the artists is their appreciation of language – the kind of language that gets lost in translation, language with multiple meanings, language that exists only as a spoken thing, language that is deceitful.  Krista Buecking, Akina Cox, Gilda Davidian, Ariane Vielmetter and Esther Pearl Watson work as a circle of artists without easy definition, exploring ideas of belonging and not belonging in different kinds of communities.
