I'm looking for help funding radical crafts and art. Money will go towards items like a button-maker, button-making materials, screen printing materials, a small laser-cutting machine, sticker-making machines, and material for performance art and culture jamming. All finished items will be distributed to the community FREE OF COST.
I got my start as a member of the Occupy Boston Screen Print Guild and ended up purchasing my own materials to distribute at events versus going through Occupy General Assemblies for funds. Instead of asking for donations for my work, I distributed materials for free and hope to continue to do so. The goal is to get radical, anti-oppressive messages across to the masses!
Past projects include: 'Occupy Justice' screen printed patches distributed at East Boston workers' strike on May 1st, 'Occupy Justice' and 'American Spring' patches distributed at the six month anniversary of Occupy Boston in Dewey Square, setting up a pay-what-you-can screen printing stand in the Boston Common, which ended up being dismantled by Boston police, 'Funk the Debt,' instant dance party wagon for Camp Charlie protesting MBTA fare hikes outside of the MA State House, and more!
Idea samples for future projects: Free materials to distribute at Occupy Austin events (where I'm now a full-time graduate student in art history), 'I do not consent to a search' buttons to distribute to communities disproportionality targeted by police forces, and collaboration with performance artists in culture jamming and interventions.
