FILM // Violet Protest Documentary Screening

Join us for a special screening of Violet Protest, a poignant documentary capturing a public effort to send 25 hand-made textile squares to each member of the 117th Congress, advocating for core American values. Following the screening, Ann Morton, recipient of the 2019 Arlene and Morton Scult Artist Award, and Gina Woodall will delve into discussions surrounding the intersection of art, activism, and politics depicted in the film, moderated by Rachel Zebro, Associate Curator of Collections. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the power of grassroots movements and civic engagement in shaping political discourse. Ann Morton, The Violet Protest, 2021. Multimedia.
