Sunday Forum: “Violet Protest”
From 9:30 am to 10:30 amPresented by Ann Morton Arizona-based artist, educator and social practitioner, Ann Morton, offers a comprehensive visual review of the Violet Protest, a nation-wide public engagement project that employs hand-made textiles as tools for protest against political divisiveness, and instead, generates a creative call for national unity. Thousands of makers from across all 50 states, DC and Canada have contributed 8 x 8-inch squares using a variety of textile processes, and equal parts red and blue, to create their individual messages supporting the core values of the Violet Protest. The project goal is to send bundles of between 25 – 50 of these individual squares to all members of the 117th US Congress by early 2022, as a unique demonstration of protest and to voice our hopes and support for cooperation between lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. Morton offers a behind-the-scenes look at the purpose, organization and realization of this overwhelming expression of American voices.
