Protest 2017 NYC

Protest is an ongoing series of installations/performances/videos/street interventions featuring footage shot at many protests in New York City, starting in 2003 with the massive anti-war rallies in advance of the Iraq war. More recently, the 2 years of Occupy Wall St. protests, Black Lives Matter protesting the (now many) killings of black men by police, including Travon Martin and Eric Garner and the Anti-Trump protests of 2016 and 2017. Each protest produced a semi-animated documentation of the protestors, their signage and their interractions with the NYPD.
