Art, Gun Violence, Identity, and Activism
Artists Manuel Oliver and Julia Santos Solomon are using their work to spur change. Manuel is the father of Joaquin “Guac” Oliver, one of 17 people murdered in the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, 2018. A self-described “graphic activist,” Manuel is creating “Walls of Demand” in an effort to stop gun violence. Julia, based in Woodstock, N.Y., uses her interdisciplinary art to start public conversations about identity, culture, and immigration. Special thanks to Connor Button, who created our theme music, and to Warren Lawrence for his control room finesse.
