Chapel Gallery Opens Exhibit on the Art of Protest in the ’60s and ’70s
Westminster’s Chapel Gallery is featuring an exhibit titled “You Can’t Jail the Revolution: The Art of Protest in Sound, Image and Text - ’60s/’70s” from April 7 to May 2.
The United States in the 1960s and 1970s experienced one of the most turbulent times in its history. With multiple disputes and contrasting views in the realms of civil rights, the work force, the political climate, the Vietnam War, women’s rights, gay rights and “anti-establishment” conflicts, protest bore many forms. From concerts to “be-ins,” printed posters and protest poems, T-shirts and buttons to marches, speeches and riots, America was caught in multiple and oppositional binaries. The exhibition seeks to place the audience into some of those binaries through video, slide shows, printed posters and a celebration of protest music. Some images contain graphic images of war along with explicit language so viewer discretion is advised.
The free show will be open to the public on Mondays from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Fridays from noon until 1:30 p.m., when Westminster is in session. The gallery is located on the lower level of Andrews Memorial Chapel.
