Discussion | A Pressing Conference: Discussion in the 'White House Breifing Room'


A Pressing Conference brings members of the press, artists, historians, and organizers together to share tactics for survival and solidarity inside a brightly-colored, hand-made sculptural installation based on the White House press briefing room. In the format of a press conference, each invited participant responds to a lesson from Timothy Snyder’s book On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From The Twentieth Century, followed by an open invitation for the press and public to ask questions and have a conversation about how to best move forward together in response to the current political climate. Throughout history authoritarian states often begin their consolidation of power by discrediting the press and spreading propaganda to blur the “real” and “true,” creating a sense of distrust and despondency. In the sea of troubling news and events, it can be easy to feel powerless but history shows that our everyday choices can have tremendous impact. A Pressing Conference will highlight the important histories of everyday people and events, offering tools for a future of continued resistance. The sculptural installation and organizing of A Pressing Conference were completed by artist Macon Reed.
