This project pays tribute to those who have taken to the streets to voice their frustration with the status quo. Working within the physical parameters of a gallery space, as well as off-site, the show explores the gap between the cause and the toll, the drive for change, and the need to recover. The works presented use formal and aesthetic artistic strategies as an adjustment to the dominance of lens-based images by which these extraordinary actions are usually mediated in the news, social media, and other conventions of story and picture distribution.
