A Bad and Nasty Call to Action!

Calling all Artists, Crafters, Writers, Resistors!

An Invitation from Bad and Nasty Events (info@badandnasty.com)

So I’m one of the international organizers for Bad and Nasty.

BAD AND NASTY (Bad Hombres & Nasty Women) is a loose knit coalition of artists, activists, media makers, theater folk, web geeks, designers, performers, writers, concerned citizens, and [whatever YOU may be that is not in the list above] around the world committed to mobilizing our ongoing resistance and channeling our anger into art and activism.

I’m posting this specifically to invite crafters, artists, writers, resistors of every kind in any medium to join us for our next day of action: June 14, 2017.

SIGN UP!  https://goo.gl/forms/nI87CoOEV9uywQbD2

Make things! Make flags. Write things for people to perform. Draw things for people to use as logos or to promote their events. Make memes for us to reblog, retweet, etc. INSPIRE US!

More about Bad and Nasty

We recently sponsored Not My President’s Day, a series of  64 DIY performance events held around the US as well as in the UK, Italy, and the Czech Republic on February 20, 2017. Our resistance took many forms: sign storms, cabarets, public readings of the Constitution and the 19th Amendment, music concerts, drag performances, staged readings, plays, dance concerts, sloughing, rallies, town halls – the list goes on. Check out our Event Map for the full picture of the range and scope of our gatherings. View our continually updated Event Archives for a retrospective look at just some of February’s amazing events.

Our February, 2017 events were so successful, in fact, that Bad and Nasty will continue to support acts of resistance in a multitude of ways. Watch this space for details about upcoming actions on 6/14/17, Flag Day in the US.

We’ve been on MTV, NPR, etc. We’ve gotten lots of press. Here’s a good piece about how we came to be. Join us– you’ll be in terrific company!

SAN JOSE, CA

http://www.SignStormSJ.com/ "SignStorm” is a temporary art installation in response to the recent radical shift in the current administration. With the help of volunteers, I will collect, create, and document a temporary art installation of hundreds of signs (both used and new) laying face up on the pavement in downtown San Jose. Resistance protests have erupted across the nation....not only to oppose Trump but to support our basic values and human rights. I have been inspired not only by the people, but by the signs themselves. If you'd like to participate, the easiest way is to contribute a sign! Please drop off signs (flats only, please no objects) at University Art on Meridian in downtown San Jose. *New Deadline: Feb. 15. I am also seeking volunteers to help place the signs on site. *Potential rain dates: Feb 20 or Feb 21 - please revisit this facebook event for updates! *** FOR MORE DETAILS/TO PARTICIPATE please see http://www.signstormsj.com/ *** NOTE: This is not a rally, protest, or march. If you want to participate, please volunteer or contribute in advance. The installation will be best viewed from above and will be professionally documented.

The artist who made the Obama ‘Hope’ poster brings the resistance to a printer near you

Shepard Fairey was behind the famous “Hope” poster from President Obama’s first presidential campaign.

For Trump’s inauguration, Fairey has designed a new set of posters just in time for the festivities (above)

He also worked with a foundation to raise more than $1 million on Kickstarter to print and distribute the posters, so you can count on seeing them everywhere on Inauguration Day — for free. Read more

Looking for a way to deal with the anxiety, rage, general malaise accompanying the knowledge of the upcoming Trump Presidency? Come out and join us for Mining Light: Not MY President’s Day, an evening of performance featuring music, theatre, spoken word, performance art, and general revelry at the Ohio Tavern on February 20, 2017. This event will work to shift our public space out of isolation and hopelessness and into collective expression, dialogue, and empowerment. We will use this night to come together and send a message, with so many other artists and communities around the world, that we do not accept the US’s dramatic assault on integrity, humanity, science, and reason. We will hear one another and celebrate our diversity as a source of power and wealth. Through art and community, we will resist and build.
