We the People Won’t Go: LES Artists on the Squatting Movement / Nosotros La Gente No Nos Vamos: Artistas Del Les Acerca Del Movimiento De Ocupación

With Seth Tobocman, Fly, Mac McGill and Maggie Wrigley; moderated by Amy Starecheski

This panel features artists who were a part of the Lower East Side squatting movement in the 1980s. The squatting movement was about housing but it also incorporated broader political goals and promoted different kinds of communities and living arrangements. In many squats, art served to communicate a message or bring people together. Artists will present their work and discuss how they’ve tried to document the squatting movement, or how their involvement in this movement has shaped how they make art.

En esta mesa de discusión aparecen artistas quienes tomaron parte del movimiento de ocupación del Lower East Side. Muchos de los edificios ocupados también fueron comunidades de artistas que organizaron presentaciones y incorporaron creación de señales y arte callejero en su activismo. Artistas hablarán de cómo han intentado de documentar este movimiento a través de su arte, o como su participación en el movimiento de ocupación ha determinado la manera de que producen arte.
