Artistic Resistance: Dr. Scott's Guerrilla Art Interventions
Purpose
Week 9's Chapter 11, section 2, includes a subsection called "Artistic Resistance." In support of that topic, I offer the following supplemental readings based on my own subversive art practice as a form of cultural resistance.

Before I became a scholar and educator, I was a visual artist who performed "guerrilla art interventions" designed to activate audience participation and generate public discourse to shift the conversation on race. Below is an article I wrote about it, along with a link to a radio interview I did (mp3 audio), as well as press coverage in the San Francisco Chronicle.
