This mini-symposium takes up the intersection of art-power-politics — from Los Angeles to Eastern Europe, with a focus on Ukraine. Artists and scholars from these regions, all greatly-affected by authoritarian-leaning governments and war-mongers, come together to discuss how the ‘street’ responds to external pressure by calling for resistance, humor, beauty, satire, parody, pride, and direct action. Six speakers give brief presentations from their fields of study and practice, followed by two panels on graffiti/street art culture and the documentation of these ephemera for history — with Sven Spieker, Shasha Razor, Anatoli Ulyanov, Mitja Velikonja, Mario Ybarra Jr., and Rabi Towing. Reception in the garden following the symposium. Presented by DoppelHouse Press, Artillery, and Art Margins at the Wende Museum’s Glorya Kaufman Community Center.
