Join us to mark the closing of Declarations for the New Year, and pick up a copy of your favorite provocation in the form of a poster, postcard, or button!

Declarations for the New Year is organized by Southern Exposure and Related Tactics Collective (Michele Carlson, Weston Teruya, and Nate Watson). The exhibition invites 40 artists, writers, cultural producers, and civic-minded instigators to make short declarations or calls to action for 2016, manifested in four separate forms – posters designed by Shawn Tamaribuchi, postcards, buttons, and radical mapping. Audiences may take away these messages as provocations or reminders to post at home, send to a friend, and wear on their body. With this gathering of provocations, we aim to spark a dialogue to carry us forward in the coming year.
