First 100 Days: United in Resistance
c3:resident | Winter 2017
c3:initiative is pleased to host the collaborative behind First 100 Days: United in Resistance for residency through Winter 2017.
About the Project
FIRST 100 DAYS: UNITED IN RESISTANCE is a resource to support creative resistance to the Trump regime. We offer a platform for artists and non-artists alike to share skills and ideas for participating in street protests and creative interventions. We seek to strengthen our community by channeling our outrage into dynamic projects based on a deeper analysis of anti-colonial, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and feminist histories.
Our program begins January 14-15, 2017 with a weekend of workshops and art making at the Portland Institute of Contemporary Art in preparation for upcoming inauguration demonstrations. On January 28, 2017 we will follow up with an event at the Pacific Northwest College of Art focused on building longer term resistance strategies within the arts communities.
