In response to the constrictions of the Homeland Security paradigm after 9/11, Art in Odd Places (AiOP) was conceived in New York City in 2005 to assert and exercise civil liberties and engagement through art in public space—without seeking permission or approval. Since 2012, the festival has exported its mode of creative civic occupation, intervention, and transformation to other cities. This panel will be moderated by AiOP 2015: RECALL curators Kendal Henry and Sara Reisman and include past AiOP curators Juliana Driever, Dylan Gauthier, Christine Licata, and Radhika Subramaniam. Panelists will share stories about their experiences both producing the festival and of artists’ projects on 14th Street and will discuss difficulties encountered, successes, and missed opportunities.
