Chinatown Art Brigade
ARTIST OPEN CALL for an Abolitionist Future!
Across the world, gentrification, incarceration, state violence, climate change, war and forced migration are global forces that are transforming our ideas about home and homeland. “Abolitionist Futures” will spotlight local resistance to the Chinatown jail and gentrification, linking struggles for liberation from NYC to Palestine.
We know a different world is possible, a world in which all human life is cherished and held sacred, send us your images and messages of solidarity, defiance, resilience and resistance. Help us seize this moment by building an abolitionist future together.
