If you’re like so many people we’re talking to these days, you might be wondering:
What the heck can I do right now? What actually works to push back against attacks on the people and ideas I care about??
Here’s the good news:
Across the world, people have faced down authoritarianism — and won — in wild, creative, and surprising ways you probably haven’t heard about. Blank sheets of paper. Surreal pranks. Songs and spectacles that slipped past the censors. These are the stories worth sharing — and learning from — right now.
That’s why we’re inviting you to:

Anti-Authoritarian Artistic Activism: What We Can Learn, What We Can Do
Wednesday, October 15 at 3:00pm ET on Zoom
Reserve your spot today!
Join C4AA’s Co-founder & Research Director Stephen Duncombe for an energizing, inspiring, and surprisingly fun session on what artistic activism looks like under authoritarian rule — what works, what doesn’t, and how we can use these lessons here and now.

This isn’t your typical talk. It’s a chance to stock up on creative tools for resilience, swap despair for imagination, and leave feeling a little more ready for what’s ahead.
We hope to see you there — because authoritarianism doesn’t stand a chance against collective joy, stubborn hope, and a little weirdness.
