Manifesto: A Moderate Proposal
The people have spoken. They have put it in writing. They have created
manifestos.
Pitzer College Art Galleries has collected these works and put them on
display in Manifesto: A Moderate Proposal, an exhibition of the ideas,
wishes and demands of scores of citizens with something to say and a need to be
heard. It is our current climate of discord that created Manifesto: A
Moderate Proposal. It was conceived to give these citizens a soapbox and to
amplify their voices.
These voices are many. These voices belong to inmates at sun-baked
correctional facilities in Southern California and to cloistered scholars at
elite colleges. These voices express the ideas of professional writers,
self-taught artists and developmentally disabled students. Their broad variety
of concerns were harvested by a team of varied volunteers鈥�Andrea Bowers, Olga
Koumoundouros, Vi峄噒 L锚, Ultra Red, Carlin Wing and Jenny Yurshansky鈥攚ho
collected manifestos that are printed on paper, painted on canvas, formed in
neon, shot on video and carved in wood. MANIFESTO: A Moderate
Proposal is a multitude of opinions hung densely, floor-to-ceiling, in
sections that reflect the numerous themes that include immigration, ableism,
race, resistance, religion and gentrification.
