gilf!

We often think of death as this horrid, scary, sad space. But what if it’s awesome, stunning, utterly transforming? What if we only fear it because we do not know it, and we only associate loss with it. These are the questions I was asking myself in preparation for Unspoken, a collaborative project with @studiospacenyc curated by @zahrasherzad for @killerimpact, and inspired by @angelawilcox. It was my complete honor to work with this whole team of brilliance and talent and vision. Come see what we did. Unspoken is open this weekend Thurs-Sat 12-8pm at 149 W. 14th St. (btw 6/7) NYC. (at Chelsea, Manhattan)

Not to mention the ability to choose our own partner without being traded with animals for a husband.... just sayin’ we fight for rights that future generations (in this country) will take for granted. ONE IN FOUR girls right now, around the world are sold/married off as child brides. We must not only fight for our rights but for the rights of all women and girls everywhere. #feminism #timesup #womensrightsarehumanrights (at Boston–Edison Historic District)

White Lies #1 A chronological documentation of every false statement made by #45 in 2017 as President. What began as a completely normal American flag has become fully opaque with the ink of each lie. Buried under the weight of his carelessness, his ego, his utter disregard for the truth, our country, and the world this flag bears witness to the disgrace Trump has brought upon all of us. He is not fit to serve. (at Detroit, Michigan)

The lines have been long, everyone is eager to destroy the awful in this world. The piles of shattered plates represent a new beginning for thousands who have participated in SHATTERING at @intoactionus. It’s more than humbling to see @johnlegend & @bryan_stevenson_offical engaging in my project. We create space when we leave the useless behind, we make space for new ideas, new movements, new relationships. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💥 (at Los Angeles, California)

Just Putin’ it out there... #impeachthismotherfuckeralready #thefutureoftheworlddependsonit #notmypresident #whitelies (at The White House)

White Lies is nearly complete. Just a few more days (about 150 lies) to go. I’m on layer 14. The flag is stiff and rigid, feels like it wants to crack, crease, permanently imperfect itself. I have to carry it with caution. It has become brittle, and fragile, and opaque. From a short distance one can see there are difference btw the red and white stripes but the red is gone. And the blue canton seems grey if there is to be any tint to it at all. See it at One Year of Resistance at @untitledspaceny opening January 16th in NYC. (at The Untitled Space)

I am bearing witness to every lie #Trump makes in his first year as president. Transferring it to a flag in white ink. It’s getting super opaque, and stiff. And I’m only 1/2 way. 9 layers already. 5.5 lies a day now. I’m estimating it will be over 2,000 false statements by the time Jan 20th rolls around. Come see White Lies #1 on Jan. 16th at @untitledspaceny for the opening of One Year of Resistance. ✍🏼🇺🇸—->🏳️ (at The Untitled Space)
