Co-founder of Black Lives Matter, artist and founder/chairperson of Reform L.A. Jails, Patrisse Cullors, held her latest performance piece “Fuck White Supremacy, Let’s Get Free” at the LTD Gallery in Los Angeles this past weekend as a part of LTD’s latest exhibition “Economies” which is open now.
Dubbed by LA Magazine as one of the “Best Things to Do In L.A. This Weekend,” the two-hour event entailed a performance with full audience participation through movement and dance to help regenerate. “So much pain in silence exists in our country right now a deep division that only continues to strip our morale,” said Patrisse Cullors.
“Economies” is an opportunity where artists and activists tackle subjects on real estate development, economic disenfranchisement, homelessness, human impact on the environment, impact on individual lives, racism and labor at large. For Cullors, her performance expresses mass incarceration and its daily impact as a tool to plumb the depths of economic histories. Cullors performed wearing a shirt stating “When they call you a daugh(ter), autho(r), survio(r),activ(st),terrorist” to expose what it is like living in America. She challenged the ways isolation has had an impact on the chance to fight back and heal from violence and harm.
