About this Event

Presented as part of An Endless Meeting: Collective Process, Artistic Labor, and the Politics of Working Together

Join us at Vox for New Red Order Presents: Crimes Against Reality, a film program presented in tandem with New Red Order’s installation on view in An Endless Meeting. 

New Red Order, a public secret society, takes seriously the proposition that decolonization means the return of all Indigenous land and life. This program gathers a land acknowledgment that refuses to end, a 19th-century grave robber’s panorama remade as a Land Back rave, and a self-help initiation video for aspiring accomplices. Part satire and part sincere summons, these works ask audiences to go beyond allyship and commit crimes against reality.

About An Endless Meeting

An Endless Meeting: Collective Process, Artistic Labor, and the Politics of Working Together is a multi-pronged project taking place this fall at Vox Populi that activates collective process as subject, form, and method. Spanning exhibitions, a curatorial residency, public programs, and a print publication, the project explores the politics of collectivity, inviting broad publics to reflect on their own experiences of collaboration. An Endless Meeting will be presented as part of Collective Futures, a citywide initiative bringing together artist-run and community-based organizations to examine collective cultural production.

An Endless Meeting: Collective Process, Artistic Labor, and the Politics of Working Together has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
