Art & Revolution

Opposed to the war in Afghanistan and critical of corporate intentions, a small group meets Wednesday evenings on the second floor of a quaint Urbana apartment. Taking part in an activity referred to as Art and Revolution, the individuals unite to create the context of what could be, by imagining alternatives to what is. They create this context among themselves, in the presence of colorful images, collaged anti-war buttons, signs with statements demanding change, and peaceful conversation.
A larger Art and Revolution movement manifestts in the form of handmade, giant puppets at anti-globalization protests, and on the internet at www.artandrevolution.org. There are also individuals nationwide who would not call themselves revolutionary artists, yet strive to create social transformation in their daily lives. We understand that these individuals transcend labels, and have therefore asked them to speak through their own words and images on these pages.
