Beginning one month before Election Day 2024, BAMPFA presents Bay Area artist Michele Pred’s call to collective action on our Outdoor Screen. Since 2016, Pred has organized numerous feminist and GOTV (Get Out The Vote) art parades, blending art and activism to inspire change. This exhibition highlights Pred’s ongoing commitment to reproductive justice, freedom, and women’s rights. Featuring an image from her iconic 2018 Vote Feminist parade in New York City, this work emphasizes the importance of building camaraderie, hope, and community joy in the fight for equality. As the election draws near, Pred’s work serves as a powerful reminder of the critical role voting plays in preserving our rights and freedoms.
