Greetings!

Four years after the Indivisible: United We Stand, Divided We Fall exhibition debuted in 2020, the political landscape is experiencing déjà vu as history repeats itself with the same Presidential match up. This general election has democracy hanging in the balance and thus more than ever we must take our civic duties seriously and VOTE! 

Indivisible 2024 will feature a wide range of revered political artists – the exhibition runs from September 11 to October 3, 2024, at the Tag Gallery Los Angeles, a contemporary fine arts gallery.  We are excited to partner with Tag , an artist-founded and operated not-for-profit arts cooperative since 1993.   

Our sponsors include Swing Left (Los Feliz) – the grassroots political organization; and the Center for the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG) – an educational/research poster archive relating to historical and contemporary movements for social change. 

We are delighted that Indivisible 2020 curator Karen Fiorito returns with an impressive mix of artists creating artwork that visually discusses social justice, reproductive rights, human rights, equality, and freedom of expression.   

Art has the power to make us think and open our minds to different viewpoints.  We at Crewest are committed to helping move the needle towards tolerance and acceptance. 

Please join us and be a part of the conversation! 

In 2024, Democracy is at a threshold throughout the world as more than half of the world’s population will go to polls—4.2 billion citizens across approximately 65 countries. Of the 43 countries expected to hold free and fair elections, 28 do not actually meet the essential conditions for a democratic vote, according to the Democracy Index from the Economist’s Intelligence Unit. Eight of the 10 most populous countries in the world, including India, Mexico, and the U.S., are grappling with the challenge of ensuring voter participation, free speech, and electoral independence while authoritarianism is on the rise. Regardless of political party, we as a nation need to respect free and fair elections and accept the outcome whether our preferred party wins or loses. Democracy isn’t about one person or political party. Democracy means rule of the people, not rule of kings, not rule of the wealthy, not rule of corporations. Political participation from citizens is a core part of democracy, and even though 66% of eligible voters turned out to vote in 2020, this election is even more important than the last. I know we are tired of hearing it said, but this truly could be our last election.

This November, the United States of America must choose between Fascism and Democracy. Indivisible 2024 is an exploration of our fragile democracy: the policy issues that unite and divide us, the principles on which democracy were founded and the urgency of our current political dilemma. Reproductive Rights, Immigration, the Climate Crisis, Gun Violence, Healthcare, Equality, Justice, Civil Rights and Freedom of Expression are some of the themes in this exhibit. Each artist represented brings their unique perspective and voice to these issues and acts as a positive catalyst for civil discourse through their art. Through the power of art, this exhibition will encourage active engagement in our democracy during the 2024 election cycle and beyond by creating a space for public dialogue and engagement.
