Our work aims to drive conversation and attention; to force you to look at social injustice, environmental issues, humanitarian issues and hopefully make you say, “I’m not okay with that, what can I do?”  We want to educate people; it’s everyone’s responsibility to fight for a better future. For there to be change, people need to act. It’s not enough just to point out problems, solutions are imperative.

Our goal is to confront crises and social issues that often get swept to the back of our minds.  We do this by creating works and exhibits that inform, shock, and humanize. For example, our current work on Venezuela shocks people with the destruction and reuse of valueless bills.  It forces people to confront what this means both in terms of the price of everyday goods and in human costs. It also tells stories that give individual faces to the impact of this horrible time. Many of our pieces have deeper meanings from topics from speaking to the lack of household goods to specific actions of the government.

We probably look at opportunities different than many artists. We are looking to create social change and therefore we are often starting from social injustices or situations that we feel are underpublicized or misrepresented.  We actively seek to work with activists, organizations and artists who also are working toward social change in order to help amplify each others message. That said we still do traditional showings in galleries and museums and especially love to work with sites that are interested in creating large and interactive exhibitions.

Yes.  Absolutely.  Contact us for more details and pricing.

If you’re serious about working on a project that fits our principles we want to see how we can help bring attention to it.  Contact us.

We are looking for volunteers.  Do you have a specific cause that you are passionate about?  Do you have specific skills that you would like to contribute your time using?

Yes.  We consider ourselves activists and are directly working for change in more ways than art.  For example, in our current work around the Venezuelan crisis we took multiple trips to the border where people were crossing by foot.  We brought medical and hygiene supplies, treated blisters and wounds, and were able to support local artists.

Since the bills can no longer be used and are essentially valueless in Venezuela, we pay individuals to collect and help ship them to us.  We do what we can to make sure that the majority of the money goes to Venezuelan artists who are supporting families with this income. At times this has meant meeting people at the border, packing bags containing hundreds of kilos of money into suitcases and then attempting to transport it without raising red flags from authorities or other interested parties.
