Guantanamo Unraveled
Project Date:

Partnership:
Location:
700 NW H St
Washington, DC

Eleven years after its opening, and four years after Pres. Obama signed an order to close it, the US is still holding over 200 prisoners in the US detention facility at Guantanamo. The majority of these prisoners have been cleared of wrongdoing by the US and are victims of circumstance. At a time when the Bush Administration needed to show progress in detaining "the worst of the worst," innocent men and children were arrested, tortured, and indefinitely detained. Luminous Intervention partnered with Witness Against Torture, a leading voice for the closure of Guantanamo, to project a visual reminder of Guantanamo's continued existence and Pres. Obama's promises to close it. The projection took place on January 12th in Washington D.C, the day after Guantanamo's 11th anniversary.

Even if Maryland seems like a surefire blue state, the local ballot initiatives are still a compelling but overlooked reason to vote. Independent artists Rachael London and Siyade Gemechisa and members of the Baltimore-based project Luminous Intervention projected a series of images onto an Arts District Billboard in order to remind weekend party-goers to vote in favor of Question 6 for marriage equality. ...see more about YES to Marriage Equality
