What happens when the word revolution gets pimped in everything from music videos to banking ads? What's the difference between revolution, resistance, uprising and independence? How can we reconcile the revolutionary credos of nonviolent civil disobedience and by any means necessary? What did Che Guevara mean when he said, Every true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love? This summer we investigate historical and contemporary global justice movements, asking, What kind of love are we talking about? and What kind of revolution do we want? Join the youth of Project 2050 as they discover, revise, remix and evolve REVOLUTION for a new generation! Project 2050 is a multi-year exploration of the year when it is projected that people of color will become the majority in the United States. Addressing the issues compelled by these changing demographics, the project engages professional artists, youth communities, scholars, and community activists in civic dialogue and artistic creation. Project 2050 promotes the creative imagining of a near-future when it will become imperative to address issues of race construction, ethnic balkanization, social equity, and power.
