Art for a Democratic Society

This month, we created an egg game asking people about their utopias/dystopias.  Participants wrote on a slip of paper that they then enclosed in an egg and hid somewhere.

In this picture, Celeste Christie explains the egg game to participants.

In a recurring project we dubbed the "Polarizer," we asked people to write in two opposing columns on a variety of topics.  This month: utopian Oakland v. dystopian Oakland.

Another polarizer asks people what they like or dislike about First Friday.
