BAN THIS SHOW
Over 30 global activist artists are set to converge in Fort Worth, Texas, for "BAN THIS SHOW," a groundbreaking multi-media exhibition that defies conventions and challenges the status quo. Presented by Culture X Creative and Fort Works Art, the show is an unapologetic exploration of art's power to disrupt, provoke, and inspire. Curators Lauren Saba and Amber Terriaco have assembled a lineup of socially conscious artists who shatter boundaries with urgency and intensity. From the renowned Caledonia Curry, known as Swoon, to Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot fame, the exhibition features a powerhouse roster of creatives whose work tackles the most pressing socio-political issues of our time. It is an unflinching call to action, demanding audiences engage deeply with the art and the world around them.
The exhibition also pays tribute to late Houston artist Forrest Prince, whose politically charged mixed-media sculptures will be showcased alongside works by celebrated names like Jerome Lagarrigue, Kate Simon, and Vincent Valdez. Contributions from iconic groups like the Guerrilla Girls and sculptors Ernesto Marenco and Misha Waks further underscore the show's bold narrative. Terriaco and Saba, both trailblazers in their respective fields, describe the exhibition as an invitation to explore the intersection of art, activism, and community. With "BAN THIS SHOW," Fort Worth becomes a stage for a seismic cultural moment—an electrifying blend of creativity and conviction that redefines what an art exhibition can be.
