ABC No Rio in Exile hosts a virtual panel discussion with artists whose work as activists and organizers shifts the culture of our larger arts community - towards one that is more inclusive, supportive, and sustainable. The program will include short presentations by Shawn Escarciga who recently organized the NYC Low Income Artist and Freelancer Relief Fund; Antonio Serna, co-organizer of Museum Workers' Happy Hour; and Alicia Grullón one of the initial and current organizers of The People’s Cultural Plan (The PCP). Q+A with open discussion will follow.

“Failure as a tool: a discussion on GenderFail’s An Anthology on Failure 2:

Building on our Failed States

Thursday, November 12, 6-8pm ET
RSVP for Zoom link

GenderFail’s An Anthology on Failure 2: Building on our Failed States, released in August 2020, is the second in GenderFail’s anthology series on the creative potential of failure. In this panel discussion, GenderFail founder Be Oakley will speak with anthology contributors Anthea Black with Jessica Whitbread from The HIV Howler, Shawn Escarciga of the NYC Low-Income Artist+Freelancer Relief Fund, and Kira Wisniewski of Art+Feminism; we will also be joined by Kamra Sadia Hakim, founder of Activation Residency, who will respond to the gap in the voices of Black trans-lead organizations in the anthology.

Panelist presentations will be followed by a conversation with Be Oakley on themes of institutional failure, non-dominant organizing, and collective solidarity. With endless examples of cultural institutions such as the Whitney Museum, New Museum, and others failing to support artists from all backgrounds, this panel looks to celebrate the radical institutions, collectives, and communities that do the real work of fostering autonomy from systems of white supremacy and racial capitalism. 

You can purchase a copy of the book on a sliding scale here. 25% of all sales will be invested in Activation Residency leading up to the panel. 

The event will be live-captioned as well as recorded, captioned, and posted to our website after the event. If you have additional access questions or needs, please contact info@cueartfoundation.org (ideally with at least 48 hours before the event) and we will do our best to accommodate you.”
