Coinciding with the Democratic National Convention, the non-profit Rock The Vote launched its Truth to Power campaign in Philadelphia earlier this week. Among its events was a three-day pop-up art exhibit featuring a varied range of socially and politically engaged works in different media. Among the artists who participated are many whose works have also surfaced in public spaces. Pictured above is Keith Haring with the City Kids Foundation. Here are several more:
Mear One, False Profits
Beau Stanton, Elemental Crisis
Lmnopi, Tehrir
Mata Ruda, How Can I Write My Own Future with My Hands Bound?
