And So Forth: A Post-Inaugural Assembly
New York City, Jan. 22-23, 2005
Amnesty International Firefly Project, Theaters Against War (THAW), Art is
Permitted Everywhere and FELT are pleased (overjoyed!) to invite you to
participate in our upcoming conference on arts + activism.
AND SO FORTH: A Post-Inaugural Assembly
January 22nd + 23rd, 2005
OfficeOps in East Williamsburg (L to Morgan)
"All art is a revolt against man's fate." -Andre Malreaux
On January 22 + 23, over 45 artists, producers, curators, activists, and
YOU will come together to share skills and strategies for raising social
and political consciousness through the arts. AND SO FORTH is two days
jam-packed with panel and roundtable discussions, hands-on workshops, film
screenings, collaborative art projects, performances, a gallery exhibition
of political art, and much more.
ASF is open to the public, and costs $10 in advance or $12 at the door.
Check out www.aifirefly.org/andsoforth for the full schedule of events.

:: More about And So Forth ::
Scheduled to coincide with the official beginning of George W. Bush's
second presidential term, ASF was conceived and organized by members of
Amnesty International Firefly Project in response to the surge of
politically-engaged art-making that swept New York City in the months
leading up to the Republican National Convention and the 2004 election.
Prominent members of New York City's burgeoning artist-activist
community will join representatives from politically-oriented and
grassroots arts organizations to discuss topics ranging from the
political potential of gallery exhibitions to documentary filmmaking,
public performance, political satire, and fundraising.
The election is over, but that doesn't mean everything should grind to a
halt: ASF is intended as a space for artists and activists to share skills
and strategies for raising social and political consciousness. By
providing a non-partisan forum for discussion, ASF's organizers hope to
reaffirm local commitment to arts activism, strengthen ties among members
of New York City's artist-activist community, and address ongoing
social-justice concerns.
