Tucson Artists Protest group unveils art exhibit on tail of No Kings Day
The Tucson Artists Protest group has launched an unjuried exhibition titled "Expression Against Repression" at the Historic Y arts space in downtown Tucson. The show opened Sunday with a parade, film screening, and poetry reading, featuring 82 works including a paper mache effigy of President Donald Trump, a comic strip about healthcare, and a portrait of a father and child. Founder Betty Harris, also first vice-chair of the LD20 Democratic Committee, organized the exhibit to merge art and politics without campaign advertising, inspired by an earlier "Roots of Resistance" show at Raices Taller 222 Art Gallery and Workshop.
