September - November 2020
1000 Hours of Outrage is a collective artistic response to 1,000 outrageous acts of the Trump presidency that took place on Instagram every hour, for 1,000 hours up until the November 2020 election. I was able to contribute to the art collective with 10 pieces based on prompts I received from the directors.
Prompt: CNN’s fact checker found Trump’s speech included 21 false, exaggerated, or misleading claims on topics including Covid, jobs, taxes, healthcare, his wall, progress for Black Americans, immigration, crime, and China.
Prompt: Trump tweeted, “The Ten Most Dangerous Cities in the U.S. are ALL run by Democrats, and this has gone on for DECADES!” This is false.
Prompt: Trump Tweets against peaceful protesting.
“People are tired of watching the highly political @NBA. Basketball ratings are WAY down, and they won’t be coming back. I hope football and baseball are watching and learning because the same thing will be happening to them. Stand tall for our Country and our Flag!!!”
