#MovementisRising is a carefully curated selection of mixed media aimed at connecting visitors to the challenge and triumph of #BlackLivesMatter and other social activism. This show illuminates the human rights injustices perpetrated against people of color, via systemic oppression and racialized violence, and the pushback of strategic movements sparked around the nation in response to the unrest. By ripping straight from the headlines, #MovementisRising highlights conversations around Ferguson, Staten Island and beyond, through newsreels, sound bites, think pieces, images, sculptures and art.

Utilizing the wellspring of artivism that has arisen out of these tragic incidents, a new face of activism has emerged inspiring change and creative expression in communities affected by injustice and inequality. #MovementisRising channels the bravery and brilliance of social activism, into interventions that everyday people can use to effect change.

 Coming Soon from October 19th to November 4th

Museum of Impact presents: Movement Is Rising: Demystify, Destroy and Rebuild!, a site-specific exhibition that demystifies the narrative around intersectional oppressions, revealing the ways in which diverse cycles of  state-perpetuated violence oppress citizens daily. Once the evils of our capitalist system, which were designed to benefit the few, are exposed and deconstructed, we’ll realize that unity is our binding force. Liberated space is right under our feet. Together, we will rebuild the world we need.
