The Resistance Administration Badge - Ariana Mygatt

The Resistance Administration Badge

Date: March 24, 2017

This work is based off a previous design I created for the Women's March in January that said "Feet on the ground, Fists in the air, Eyes on the state." My personal political project is to keep my eyes on the state for the foreseeable future, and to remind as many others as I can to do the same. We must keep watching so we know what we're fighting, and the latin phrase on the bottom references this impulse. Please join and share this badge of membership to the resistance administration. I also recommend adding the words "Cabinet Member" beneath, if you feel so inclined. ;-)

Love is the Center of Resistance - Brooke Toczylowski

I was at home alone on the night of the election, and the online world was keeping me company in my disbelief. This phrase, "Love is the Center of Resistance," was inspired by a passage Rebecca Solnit posted on Facebook the night of the election, just as we were starting to confirm that Trump was indeed going to win. She wrote, "There is no way around this is horrible. There are things to do. Draw together with people you love, work hard at making spaces, times, networks in which our ideals and values prevail, reach out for the vulnerable, and pitch your tents big, because this ugliness is all about exclusion and narrowness and not wanting to deal with people who are different or even people who have slightly different ideas, and the left can be as fucked-up in this regard as anyone. Love is what you have, and generosity, and imagination. What we have. These are centers of resistance, and the resistance is what you go out into the world with the strength and vision you gather inside." These words—full of action and purpose in the heart of the shock—were overwhelmingly comforting for me. That someone could be so optimistic in this insane moment gave me lots of courage. I focused on love being the center of my resistance, and it's been an important idea that I come back to when I need strength.

Never Again (t-shirt) - Leigh Cox

Never Again (t-shirt)

The imagery of a strong pair of hands breaking a wire hanger is something I’d been struggling to turn into a cohesive design for a bit, and everything finally clicked late the night before I left for the Women’s March in DC. To anyone that expresses horror, disgust, or shame at being confronted by what the coat hanger represents in the context of women’s reproductive rights? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

A good portion of my time since the 2016 election has been spent working in the art of protest posters. In November, I worked with my high school graphic design classes on protest art and installed a wall of student-made posters in my school. In December, I hosted a visiting-artist lesson from P.O.P.-partner Shoestring Press to introduce students to the art of screen printing. In January, I created my own design with the goal of continuing to empower resistance and focus attention back on the bodies that need to be monitored.

Ariana Mygatt is an artist educator. She teaches art and graphic design at a public high school in Brooklyn and works professionally in portrait & event photography.
