Nevertheless We Vote
An artists’ call to the polls
On November 3, 2018 Michele Pred will bring her feminist art parade to New York City with a focus on the mid-term elections. Designed to bring politically motivated art out of galleries and studios and on to the streets, Pred’s parade is made up of artists that combine performance and activism with their portable projects.
Nevertheless We Vote is the latest in a string of overtly political art actions that Ms. Pred has produced over the last several years; both individually and in collaboration with other artists. In December 2017 Ms. Pred curated the Parade Against Patriarchy in Miami during Miami Art Week. For that version she invited women artists to participate. For the New York parade, the scope will be expanded to include male artists and their art. Confirmed artists include Michele Pred, Ann Lewis, Yvette Molina, and Bud Snow.
The National Institute for Reproductive Health will be participating in the parade, Pred will also be inviting a variety of social justice organizations to participate including Black Lives Matter, Institute for Women’s Policy Research, NYSYLC and NARAL.
