Reflecting on current events, and the rise of a new totalitarian aesthetic, in Signs of Dissent, Blackfish artists respond with a month-long affirmation of cultural resilience and artistic freedom.

Building out of the long tradition of artist-as-activist, Signs of Dissent addresses both emergent political threats, and the often-longstanding structures that empower them. Confronting the reemergence of 20th century specters of xenophobia and ultra nationalist authoritarianism, Signs of Dissent reasserts the power of art in shaping the future.
