Strike! Aesthetics, Semiotics, and Collective Action
Facilitated by M. James Becker
I will be speaking on a body of work I've been making, including drawings and digital works, based on my time constructing signs for the wildcat strike at UCSC. We will look together at historical precedents, discuss aesthetic strategies, and engage in a collective drawing workshop.
This talk is intended for the general public, but specifically for artists and makers of all kinds.
M. James Becker (b. 1994, St. Louis) is an artist researching labor, performance, and cultural politics.His work has been presented in public and independent art spaces in the United States and abroad, including the Opera House Palace of Arts, Cairo, Other Places Art Fair, San Pedro, and the Broad Art Center, UCLA.
