Black Lives Matter Went To Hoboken Artists Studio Tour

And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 1,000 and something, and Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast.  And Black Lives Matter, that all things police brutality and beyond movement, is still moving fast also. And in between reading the headline news of the day, Occupy Art, well #blacklivesmatter, went to Monroe Center for the Arts as part of that Hoboken Artists Studio Tour the other day, November 8th, 2015 for that city-wide, self - guided walking tour of artists studios, galleries and group exhibitions featuring the work of over 100 local artists in that city of Hoboken to be found in that state of New Jersey.. And every picture tells a story, I think, as in those photos of that #BlackLivesMatter @ Hoboken Artists Studio Tour that find themselves posted above. And again, whether or not Occupy Art will find itself at another Occupy Art Show remains to be seen. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible.

#BlackLivesMatter @ Hoboken Artists Studio Tour

And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street day one thousand and something. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, well sort of.  And Black Lives Matter, that all things police brutality and beyond movement, is still moving fast also. Well #BlackLivesMatter is going to Hoboken Artists Studio Tour in that city of Hoboken to be found in that state of New Jersey to be found in that country of North America. And actually Occupy Art has found itself at that Hoboken Artists Studio Tour in times past as well. And that Occupy Art Show thought it was going to Newark Open Doors a few weeks ago when Occupy Art Went To Newark Open Doors, well sort of, with an incomplete Occupy Art Show that was no longer that Occupy Art Show that was hoped for. And so back to that Black Lives Matter exhibit at Hoboken Artists Studio Tour.  And that #BlackLivesMatter @ Hoboken Artists Studio Tour Facebook event invite for that exhibit reads something like:

Hi everyone,

I will be showing photos from various Black Lives Matter protests throughout the NYC area as well as Black Lives Matter artwork and posters I have created as part of this years Hoboken Artists Studio Tour. This exhibit is inspired by the Black Lives Matter movements to discuss, expand scope, perspective and inspiration towards an ongoing series of future culture jams and events around this theme and time.

Please visit this Black Lives Matter exhibit during the Hoboken Artists Studio Tour if you happen to be in the neighborhood, Sunday, November 8th, 12 - 6pm at Monroe Art Center, 720 Monroe Street, C - 502, fifth floor, Hoboken, New Jersey.

I will also have artwork on display at Monroe Art Center as part of the hob' art Gallery group show, "Color Line Form ", currently on display in room E208 that will be open during Hoboken Artists Studio Tour hours also.

Black Lives Matter Went To Figment NYC

Well I guess it can now be Black Lives Matter Art Show went To Figment NYC as I type this blog post. And in the midst of everything else under the sun, Figment NYC 2015 has come to pass, although there is to be Figment Boston, Figment DC and other Figment projects in the days to come. And there was also that Governors Ball and Bushwick Open Studios events that happened this past weekend in that city of New York that were about art, art and more art and music, music and more music. And in between the rain and the sunshine I guess these events may have art and music rocked. And so that Black Lives Matter Art Show also found itself as an Occupy Art Show leftover from last years Occupy Art Show at Figment as in those photos posted above. And every picture tells a story, I think. And again, according to that Black Lives Matter Art Show Facebook event invite,

"The Black Lives Matter Art Show invites you to create your own art posters from art materials and supplies that will be available for everyone. Participants are encouraged to talk about the Black Lives Matter movement as well as the artwork they have created through the open mic."

And some of those thoughts that found themselves being written on that canvas for the day at that Black Lives Matter Art Show went something like:

Your Thoughts On Occupy

"Occupy needs to be more effective. Join in against UN Agenda 21 the plan to destroy the US by the UN. The UN = Global banksters"

"Illuminati"

"Be The Change"

"I Love Governors Island"

"Go Occupy!"

"Power (some word I can't read) with politics. Don't sit around and complain. Take over Washington."

"Occupy started with an essential conversation about income and equality. But it has expanded. Many people in various groups doing great work. A better world is critical."

"What does "Occupy" mean when possession is an illusion".

"Love conquers all".

"I Love Occupy".

"UK high court bans An Inconvenient Truth due to lies".

"Youtube:  Agenda 21 for dummies".

"Great Grean Hoax. The radical enviro - eco - ists are useful idiots for unagenda 21".


Your Thoughts On Black Lives Matter

" It's time to do better. End the genocide of African - Americans and Black people around the world. Everyone deserves to thrive."

"Be the change you wish to see in the world".

"It's complicated, more complicated than either left or right media presents. It comes down to love and respect at the end. Treat everyone like your brother, that will make this world a better place".

"Keep the conversation going! We all matter!"

"Love is internal. It transcends the physical limitations racism creates. We are all connected".

"ALL LIVES MATTER!".

"#All black lives matter will ensure that all lives do matter. Let's keep fighting to re - center the conversation".

"Equality".

"LOVE, opportunity, respect for all people, equally + equitably! DIGNITY for all, JOY for all, PEACE for all".

"why can't we all just get along?".

"500 years later and we're still trying  to make this point?!  We need to come together and heal now. Educate about the true history. Share stories. Work for change".

"Just because blacks are blacks doesn't mean they have to be treated bad."

"I am black and my life does matter".

"It's a shame that statement even needs to be made! I should matter because I am human!!"

"So much I can say... I'm a product of the 70's bus protests to allow black children to attend and integrate all white schools. It was an eye opening experience. We were told "We don't want your kind here." And so 40 years later we still must stand up and demand that "Black Lives Matter!!!"

And thank you Figment for giving the opportunity to express those thoughts on Black Lives Matter. And a very super thank you Metro for mentioning that Black Lives Matter Art Show at Governors Island.  And as I find myself posting on this blog every so often, whether or not there will be any more of those Occupy Art Shows or Black Lives Matter Art Shows to be drummed up in the New York City Area remains to be seen, though on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day one thousand and something, and Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, I think. And Ferguson Action Network, Millions March NYC, Artists For Justice, Peoples Power Assemblies, Grand Central Terminal Crew, and a host of other Black Lives Matter related groups still continue to discuss the Black Lives Matter movement through rallies, protests, die - ins and other events and strategies that are welcome. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible. And what does this have to do with a No Police State

Justice for Eric Garner and all victims of racist police brutality
