PROTEST ART

BLM/Pride Curbside Photo Booth! Peaceful Protest Portrait Project:

Creating Social Awareness through Art!

As we continue to support the BLM movement against systemic racism and police brutality by educating ourselves and joining peaceful protests, we also want to celebrate the lives of Queer Black People & the Pride movement, lead by the LGBTQIA+ community.

FTA Productions would like to invite you to join us in our portrait collage project. We will be taking individual portraits of masked protesters to create a large collage in support of this movement.

We will use the power of the collective to create a piece of art of protest, while also following social distancing guidelines.

Our main focus is to create a safe environment, create community, and spread social awareness through art.

Everyone is invited.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

We understand that it may be controversial to appear that we are splitting focus in this time of crisis. However, we would like to focus on the power of intersectionality. We feel that Pride & the BLM movement are both fights for equality and that they strengthen each other.

We want to emphasize, that while this event is a chance to celebrate Gay Pride, it is also a unique opportunity to highlight all the beautiful diversity and intersectionality within the Queer community. We are providing a space for the LGBTQIA+ community (which includes allies) to raise their voice in support of their black brothers and sisters.

ALTERNATIVE FORM OF PROTEST

We have a lot of friends who are either dealing with health issues, live with an elderly person, have special needs, or don’t feel comfortable in large groups.

We wanted to provide an alternative way to show support for this movement, in a different setting.

We hope that this provides a platform for our Queer, Black friends and all Allies to share their voices and express their protest through art. Join us this Saturday!

Everyone is Welcome! 🖤🏳️‍🌈✊🏾✊🏼✊🏿✊🏻✊🏽

PROJECT DETAILS

📸 The incredible photographer Marcus Ward (aka @afroblackninja) came up with the concept for this art piece last week. His piece consisted of individual portraits of masked protesters with a message, which will be then turned into a large mosaic collage!

We are planning on repeating this concept, but with new fun elements that will incorporate the Pride message.
