6.4

I honor the courageous souls who fought for freedom. Embrace free expression in all realms!

This is part of the "Noncompliance" exhibition at The Hague!
I am thrilled '6.4' to be part of the "Noncompliance" exhibition at The Hague!
The impact of The June 4th Revolution lingers within me. I honor the courageous souls who faced dictatorship head-on, fighting for freedom. Embrace the freedom of expression in both physical and digital realms.

In 2021 artist Khaled Jarrar offered to send a jars soil from Palestine to the collectors of his NFTs on @zora. The work's title, "If I don't steal your home someone else will steal it," is a phrase an Israeli settler used to justify forced evictions of Palestinians in East Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrar neighborhood.
Grace of the Sun, by Robert Montgomery (2021) Comprised of 1,000 solar powered lights + created in conjunction with the UN Climate Conference, COP26, in Glasgow, Scotland. These lights were subsequently used by an NGO to provide clean, affordable solar power to people living without electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Dread Scott, White Male for Sale, 2021. “The term fungible resonated differently for me due to its use by scholars of the history of slavery. People are inherently non-fungible. But as slavery became an integral part of developing capitalism, enslavers sought to make people fungible.” -DS
With this work -Xi Is Going On A Bear Hunt, minted in 2022 - artist Badiucao used an inside joke among China‘s dissident community to create global resistance against China's dictatorship. Winnie-the-pooh also became one of the most censored image in China when it is used in juxtaposition with the leaders.
Currency of Protest, 2022. In the light + shadow of societal upheaval, where smoke + fire mark the raw edges of dissent + the vibrant blooms of change emerge, there is a rhythm. A meditation on the dualities of protest: the immediacy of conflict juxtaposed w the slow, often unnoticed, germination of transformation.
