Art After Trump: A Response and a Gathering

Art After Trump: A Response and a Gathering is a marathon-style (no introductions, no hosts) reading hosted by and featuring artists and arts administrators. The results of the 2016 election were a shocking education for many on the realities of our fellow citizens. We asked our 150 performers: as an artist, how are you reacting to this uncertain future? What do you want to say or do? Each performer was invited to prepare a 2-minute performance of any form and any content.

Partner organizations will provide information and resources in addition to Housing Works’ bookstore and advocacy and healthcare departments.

6:00: Meetup & mingle
6:30PM – midnight: Continuous performances

Produced by
Molly Rose Quinn, Housing Works Bookstore Cafe; Brandon Stosuy, The Creative Independent, a project of Kickstarter; Glory Edim, Well-Read Black Girl; Jillian Steinhauer, Hyperallergic; Ben Sisto, Ace Hotel New York

Hosted with: (more to be announced):
Housing Works, The Creative Independent, Well-Read Black Girl Book Club (WRBG), Hyperallergic, BOMB Magazine, Lenny, WEIRD SISTER, The Atlas Review, VIDA: Women in Literary Arts, No, Dear, Urban Word NYC, Triple Canopy

This event will directly benefit Housing Works, and no other entities involved are spending money or making money on the event. All performances at Housing Works are donations.
