About Artwork and Quote, from SCW:
Gene Pendon’s thoughtful tribute to the election of Barack Obama uses words from Pennsylvania single-mother Kiari Day to place this milestone firmly within the framework of the struggle for civil rights. It reminds us that much work remains if we are to bring freedom, justice, dignity and equal opportunity to all Americans.
This simple slogan movingly connects the past to the present, creating a memorable slice of people’s history. These three people are, of course, symbols for the millions of dedicated Americans who work tirelessly for justice and peace.
“Many of you have probably seen the Rosa Sat… quote circulating the web. We hunted down the originator of the quote, Kiari Day a single-mother living near Pittsburgh, and are paying her a royalty. I call it ‘closing the circle of justice.'” -Dik Cool, Founder SCW
About Syracuse Cultural Workers

Some HVW8 Political Minded bootleg shirts were spotted in a Bangkok. Political Minded was a series of artshows/ installations done by HVW8 artists Dan Buller, Gene Pendon and Tyler Gibney in Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, San Fransico and Munich from 2003 to 2006. The idea was to promote political awareness through art and music during the dark years of the Bush administration. HVW8 would take over a space and spend a week working while literally inhabiting the ‘guerilla gallery’, painting the walls with politically inspired murals. There would be an opening event with music and live t-shirt silkscreening. These (bootleg) t-shirts above are an example of the designs.
More information of HVW8’s in the gallery webite HERE.
