Since the beginning of his second term as President, Donald Trump has undertaken a frontal assault on our political institutions, aimed solely at consolidating his power. He has actively undermined the rule of law and exploited his position for the enrichment of himself and his cronies. He has implemented loyalty tests, based on acceptance of the “Big Lie” that the last election was stolen, and he has initiated a radical racist, sexist, and homophobic ideological agenda, targeting the most vulnerable, marginalized people in our society and subjecting them to extra-legal forms of discrimination and persecution.
As an exhibition of political art, this show registers the re-election of Donald Trump as an authoritarian take-over of the country that we are watching unfold in real time. At the same time, the show adopts an historical lens on our current crisis, foregrounding the longstanding authoritarian tendency in American politics, and it ties this tendency to the authoritarianism of white supremacy integral to our country’s past.
Finally, the show aims to mark a site of resistance, platforming these artists’ voices as diverse expressions of political protest and championing public activist opposition to the ever-present threat of authoritarianism, now taking hold of our society.
