Workshop: Creative Disruptions, Oakland CA

City-Wide Activist Art:

Mud Stencils, Light Brigades, Street Signs, & Other Creative Disruptions

As part of the The 19th Bay Area Anarchist Fair.

The Crucible, 1260 7th Street, Room C (This room is upstairs and is accessible only by a flight of stairs).
The Crucible is just two blocks from the West Oakland BART station

This will be a presentation on the importance of activist art in movements today and using the city as a canvas for an action. Projects discussed will include the 2009 mud stencil action in Chicago with TAMMS Year Ten, the Justseeds-IVAW street art action in Chicago in 2010, the Warning Sign Project in 2010 (part of the movement to close down the Fisk and Crawford coal fired power plant.) Past tactics will also be discussed (the Groundworks stencil project in 1989 in NYC to help close a nuclear navy home port on Staten Island) and the Overpass Light Brigade that arose out of the Wisconsin Uprising.
