This month's Digital Dialogue features the strategies that artists and arts & culture organizations have been using to amplify the growing 99Percent Movement (aka Occupy Movement). In the U.S., the hardest hit communities, historically disenfranchised people representing the 99%, have been organizing for many years to organize for racial, economic and social justice. These communities understand the power of arts and culture and have been using it effectively in their organizing and movement building work. Since mid-September, cultural workers and artists from these social justice, working class, immigrant and communities of color have worked hard to use these same platforms to unify the hearts and minds of the 99%. Arts and culture working groups have been springing up in virtually every local 99Percent actions. They have been engaged in a wide array of artistic mediums, everything from music, independent newspapers, videos, poster art, fine art, poetry, performance, theater and dance just to name a few.
Our features some of these cultural workers and artists whose creative works have helped to inspire tens of thousands to come together to get involved in the Occupy Together 99% movement.
