Opening Reception: Cancel This Show!

  • The Clemente Center 107 Suffolk Street New York, NY, 10002 United States (map)

At a time when journalists and comedians face "cancellation" for opposing authoritarianism and rising ultra-nationalism, where are the artists? "Cancel This Show!" addresses this question by gathering works that defiantly protest xenophobia, racism, urban militarization, classism, queerphobia and attacks on democratic institutions. Drawing inspiration from historic activist exhibitions—from 1967's Angry Arts Week to the 1984 Artists Call Against US Intervention in Central America—this exhibition challenges contemporary artists to reclaim their role as social critics through anger, humor, and parody. Participating works visualize current injustices while fostering dialogue about art's responsibility in times of political crisis.
