Slide Projections is a side project of Drawing Resistance - a traveling
political art show. Realizing that the tour of the exhibition of 31 artworks
will eventually come to an end (2001-2005) and that it can not feasibly
travel to other continents due to costs, slide projections is a way to
continue to showcase political art to any community that is interested in
setting up an exhibition through the drawing resistance network. 

The idea is simple. Artists from around the world mail 5 slides to drawing
resistance where a large catalog of slides is compiled of images that
address political and social themes.  A person or organization can then
contact drawing resistance and request that a collection of 80 slides be
mailed to them for a public screening. Slides can be mailed to any city in
the world and would then be mailed back to drawing resistance after the
event.  Slide shows could accompany any type of event both outdoors and
indoors and be projected at large demonstrations, film shows, class rooms,
music shows, public art events, etc.
