Fall Of Freedom: Rise of Resistance at The Drawing Room

This mini exhibition will be installed concurrently with The Monster Art Show in the stage area at 599 Valencia and will also open November 22nd, 4-9pm.

Fall of Freedom is an urgent grassroots call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation. In response to this invitation, we have partnered with the Drawing Room to organize an exhibit that creatively reimagines the American flag.

Throughout history there have been many illustrious artists who have used the American flag as social commentary. By joining them in reinterpreting this powerful symbol of patriotism, we are declaring our profound opposition to the alarming and increasing attacks on our democracy. Our hope is to create a space for critical engagement and thoughtful conversation around what it means to be American. Art matters. Artists are a threat to autocracy. Let rise the resistance.
