Thank you to all the artists and visitors of last weekend’s show. We feel like many folks and their families came by and were able to interact with Occupy Boston in another way.
Here are some photos from the show
Undivided Promo Sign – I have included the promotional sign for the show as it was requested by a few visitors to the event.
Some of the artists that participated included:

She is an active member in the Colleges Occupy Boston chapter at Suffolk (SuffolkOccupies), which is still working to become a recognized student organization. While going to school full-time, Ally also works two jobs to pay for her own housing and living expenses in the city. She is a strong supporter of the Occupy movement and believes that, through civil disobeince and intellectual discussions, the occupiers of Boston and the world are making a real difference in our economic and political systems.

Gunner Scott, Activist. Photographer. Artist. Traveler. Reluctant Writer.
Currently he is exploring the world through a camera lens and documenting his perspective through mixed media arts. In addition to political activism, in 2000, he founded Gender Crash Open Mic, which was Boston’s only specifically transgender inclusive ongoing event that ran until 2009 and also the community driven websites ButchDykeBoy.com (2000-2004) and later GenderCrash.com (2004-2009). Since then, Gunner has created queer/trans dance parties with DJ D’hana Perry and is the other half of the DJ collective “2 Trans Guys and iPod” with Tre’Andre. He holds a BA in Liberal Arts from Goddard College, where he completed an oral history project titled “Boston Area Transgender Community Leaders and the ENDA Crisis.” He has been advocating for the Transgender Equal Rights Bill in Massachusetts since 2007 and for a transgender inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) on the Federal level since 2001. Gunner has been involved with the Occupy Boston movement since it’s beginning in September and is part of the media working group, the arts commitee and recently coordinated an art show at Occupy Boston entitled, Undivided: Dewey Square Pop-up Art Show – Inspired by Occupy Boston/Occupy Wall St. You can find Gunner’s photos and writings on www.gunnerscott.com and follow him on twitter @MrGunnerScott.
Undivided was co-curated by Gunner Scott @OccupyBostonArt and Jay @OccupyBosSigns from Occupy Boston Signs in Dewey Square, Boston – Sign making, pics of signs, live tweets of marches at #OccupyBoston OccupyBostonSigns@gmail.com
We look forward to bringing more art and community art making events and activities to Occupy Boston.
