"Art has the power to transform the world... Today, the US stands at an unprecedented and dangerous crossroads. Our nation’s nearly 250-year-old democracy is under siege from enemies both foreign and domestic, and the results of our presidential election in November will forever shape the future of our country, our democracy and the modern world as we know it. This is where art meets activism.
Artists For Democracy 2024, a project led by People For the American Way, is working with world-renowned artists such as Shepard Fairey, Carrie Mae Weems, Beverly McIver, Titus Kaphar, Wangechi Mutu, Cindy Sherman, Hank Willis Thomas, Jeffrey Gibson, Ann Hamilton and others, to create works that speak to the precarious moment that we are in and to mobilise voters to the polls to defeat an existential threat to our democracy—Donald Trump."
