This is What Democracy Looks Like, The Art of Protest Sue Springer

This Is What Democracy Looks Like is a celebration of the spirit, humor, color and determination of protest in the US at this time of chaos.
Sue Springer creates a rich tapestry of protest signs represented with collage, paint and photographs. Collecting protest signs from people making their own in a wide variety of themes and techniques, the diversity of opinions and humor are evident.
Additionally, Springer is showing recent ceramic sculpture in the spirit of protest reflected in the iconic image of the Statue of Liberty. The “Wounded Liberty ” series is comprised of a group of wall sculptures representing the head of the Statue of Liberty with a gash on her right.
Additionally, visitors will be invited to create their own protest sign to take to the next protest or to add to the display.
