Nine artists, including Joan Jonas, Barbara Kruger, and Julie Mehretu, created the works as the collective «
Artists Against the Immigration Ban,» and the printed posters were mailed unsolicited to 30 leading contemporary art institutions.
The week includes workshops by writers and
artists whose work focuses on social and political issues, including the environment, climate change, gun violence, racial violence, police brutality, violence
against women, racial equity, homophobia, and
immigration, all through the lens of creative action.
